Would anyone that runs Fedora be able to help out here? I would like to 
see him run ProFTPd. I'm sure there is a package for it because I used 
to run it when I ran RedHat 6.x.

Roger the big difference between the menu systems in RedHat 6 and Fedora 
6 is the fact that RedHat 6 ran Gnome 1.x (Maybe even something earlier 
like 0.9x.) and Fedora runs Gnome 2.16. BIG difference, as Gnome 1.x 
always gave more options to the user, whereas Gnome 2.x doesn't.

Just a sanity check, you are running 'yum' or the package manager as a 
superuser, right?

If worse comes to worse, you can always find an FTP solution for your 
Windows box, and have the Linux box login to it's FTP server.
