Brennan Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I want to have a SFTP server running Linux but not sure what OS I should try. I already used Linux but didn't get to technical with it. so a simple OS will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mubix Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 SCP is easier and most likely already set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zephid Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 You are saying that you want to use it as a server. For that part I will suggest trying out Gentoo Linux, it's not that simple, true, but it is really good documented, is you run into problems check the forums or www.gentoo-wiki.com those to places will help you out in 99% cases. :) I did start with Gentoo (5-6 years ago) and I am glad that I did, almost all other distros seemes so easy, because you well get really used to the terminal in gentoo. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 FreeBSD is damn simple to setup, Gentoo is better for highly bespoke heavily tuned setups. FreeBSD's documentation is very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickisgod1 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 freebsd, gentoo or centos (this comming from someone who likes rpm though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
