UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Ok heres whats up

I reacently got a old sun server with a dvd drive it currently has a database of car parts on it i want to know how to change it into and ftp that i could access from a windows computer to store files, website, pictures, 3d animations and anything else that i need to move between computers. i have a high speed modem but i think the sun server only has a dial up modem so i might need to know how to change that too. I know alot about building repairing and otherwise working on personal computers and networks but i know nothing about sun servers so if anyone is up to helping me with all my stupid questions that are probally really easy for you guys to do. Thanks in advance

What database? (Oracle, Sybase.. etc.)

what sun server? I can't even think of one which could have a dvd but doesn't have network.

its a sun ultra 5 i dont know if that helps you. i dont know what type of database it was used to look up GM parts and the catologs came on dvds

The ultra 5 has a 10/100 Mb Ethernet card, the socket for it is ( looking from behind the box ) in the bottom right corner.

ya actually i found that after taking a closer look at the box. Right now I think the server has been wiped or the boot file is messed in some way but it says something about it not being able to boot as soon as i get my camera back i will take a picture so you guys can see it

I think you are looking for Microcat which is the parts catalogue software for GM dealers, I know this because I belong to automobiles but no experience of GM products. Have a look at this, it may help you to understand the nature of database installed on your sun box.
