connect through a ftp client

[ZSakke]

Hey,
I 'm develloping a site in php and got a problem with my apache server, I got Apache up and running for local use (localhost), but nog I need to be able to connect it trough a ftp client (to chmod some files), but I can't.
I use "192.168.2.101" as adres (gives the same as localhost in my browser) and tried "80" and "2828" (last one is REMOTE_PORT according to my phpinfo()) as ports.
But it doesn't seem to work, what am I doing wrong?
Thanx in advance.

Your ftp client is using port 21 to connect to your site. Apache listens on port 80. You cannot do what you want through apache. You will need to get an ftp server. Most linux distros come bundles with at least one but I like proftpd. You will also need to configure ftp to let your ftp users execute some shell commands such as chmod.

ZSakke,

What RhythmAce said is correct, if you need FTP to upload files. If all you need to do is chmod and you're likely to be the only one doing it, you could use Telnet/SSH. Most Linux distros come with Telnet/SSH servers as well.
