Very Computer

I have very little experience with linux (3 hours) and is all I need to do
is copy some files.
Question 1:  Is there anyway to copy files from the HD to a floppy? and
how?
OR
Question 2:  How do I start the FTP server?

If someone could please email me directly or let me know where I could find
these answers...all help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
