ok, ill try to go into more specifics if you can explain this to me a little easier.. i dont understand what you mean by FQDN's (ill try to figure out).

you second paragraph is a little fuzzy to me.. i login to linux via root or something like that...
When i login to my FTP i use the username it told me to use "FTP" and the password i had set... I am not quite sure how to logon to the FTP as root, or i dont know its password..

I have 2 computers connected to my router.
One computer is running red hat linux 9 (Shrike)
The other is a normal Windows xp computer

I believed i had the FTP running on my linux computer
So i decided to try out the FTP on my other computer (winodws xp)

Doesnt seem to work.. The ip i believe is for my linux computer (192.168.1.101) is not working, i get an error saying "Windows cannot access this folder blah blah blah.. Details : FTP Session was terminated."

So, i test it on my linux machine and when i type "ftp localhost" (logged in on my linux "root" username) i recieve
Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1).
220 Welcome to Jason's FTP Service.
Name(localhost::root)
i login with my made username called "ftp" (please tell me if i should not do that).
asks me to specify password...
Then says login successfull.
Remote System type is unix
Using Binary mode to transfer files...

So, what i am saying is.. It seems to be connected.. Now, what should i do, if i cannot get to the ftp on a local machine.(The windows xp machine)

And i am not even sure if that port you said is even the correct port for the ftp? how would i know if thats for sure?

And if i am that dumb, how would i find out what the ip is for my linux machine.. i typed "ip addr" and i got "192.168.1.101" assuming that is the local ip..

NAME

       sticky - mark files for special treatment

DESCRIPTION

       The sticky bit (file mode bit  01000, see chmod(2)) is used to indicate special treatment of certain files and directories. A directory for
       which the sticky bit is set restricts deletion of files it contains.  A file in a sticky directory can only be removed or renamed by a user
       who  has  write permission on the directory, and either owns the file, owns the directory, has write permission on the file, or is a privi-
       leged user. Setting the sticky bit is useful for directories such as /tmp, which must be publicly writable but should deny users permission
       to arbitrarily delete or rename the files of others.

       If  the	sticky bit is set on a regular file and no execute bits are set, the system's page cache will not be used to hold the file's data.
       This bit is normally set on swap files of diskless clients so that accesses to these files do not flush more valuable data  from  the  sys-
       tem's  cache.  Moreover,  by  default such files are treated as swap files, whose inode modification times may not necessarily be correctly
       recorded on permanent storage.

       Any user may create a sticky directory. See chmod for details about modifying file modes.

SEE ALSO

       chmod(1), chmod(2), chown(2), mkdir(2), rename(2), unlink(2)

BUGS

       The mkdir(2) function will not create a directory with the sticky bit set.
