It looks like RH8 has about 4 ftp servers installed by default. Open up the Services Control Panel and see what is available to run. Look for wu-ftpd or vsftpd. You can start them from there. Give this a read too...

As far as your router goes..you will just need to forward tcp port 21 on the router to the IP address of the ftp server (your linux box).
That's it in a nut-shell. You will want to do a bit of reading to get things working exactly how you want. Post Back!
thx! ill give it a shot
