Manny, I've been sitting here an hour trying to find any built-in ftp 
servers in the Fedora Core 6 distro I have.  Why in the world these 
tools are not in the start menus is way beyond me.  That's my big pet 
peeve right now, how Red Hat 6 had so much in the menus, but FC 
appears to have trimmed a lot out.

Anyway, another problem is that the RPM installer thingy is refusing 
to install RPM packages on a big FC6 archivr web site.  Clicking on 
the files brings up the installer wizard, followed by "cannot install 
package..." bla bla.  NOW I'm thinking I need to update the package 
installer, but jeez, if it won't update itself, then this seems like 
a trap unless the magic will be from the "yum" command issued manually?

If I can set up the FTP server I can transfer files back and forth 
between the two computers through my network, naturally, but the 
beauty is doing it all and seeing it all from the Vista 
computer.  This is truly almost like having Linux and Windows on one 
computer.  Oh, the File Transfer menu option is grayed out in my 
Windows tightvnc client.  Googling that issue hasn't turned up squat, 
but plenty of people complaing the same song.  That might be a Vista 
problem, but not a worry since I'm working on the FTP solution for 
file transfers.
