I'm not familiar with Solaris, but I need to set up a ftp server. What is the simplest way to do this? It doesn't need to have high security or anything of that nature. It also needs to be anonymous. I'm basically scanning something from a printer to a Solaris box. Can someone help me?

If you do a ftp to the unix bax what do you have ?

Usually ftp is a standard service and is available by default. Look in /etc/inet/services and /etc/inet/inetd.conf to see if they are commented out.

If it is solaris 8 or solaris 9, you do not have to do any thing. Just add user and ftp to the server. You can also check /etc/inetd.conf. Uncomment the line if it is is commented.

ftp stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/in.ftpd in.ftpd –a

Then give the command # kill –HUP `pgrep inetd`.
If you do not want to give access any user put his name in /etc/ftpd/ftpusers.

Amazing world amazing people "using Solaris O/S for just ftp server" frown :-(

You can download ftp server software for any windows box and configure it , e,g Pathway ftp server and hell lot of software available for free on Inernet
