Quickest method to enable FTP for local network?

[schwim]

Hi there guys,

I used my desktop to test scripts via http on the localnetwork. I'd like to also be able to work in the http root via ftp within the local network as well. Can anyone tell me the most barebones method of getting FTP working for the doc root (var/www/html )? No frills, just need to connect to it via the other computers on the network.

thanks,

Install vsftpd, create an account with the apache group, point hoem directory to /var/www/html. In the vsftpd, you can chroot directly in the dir if you wanted to, ie start at /var/www/html.
