I would like to build an Integrated Web Server that supports uploading and downloading files, but how?

There is a great program called “Easy File Sharing Web Server” (http://www.file-sharing.com) that does exactly what I want to do. However, it costs money that I do not want to put down at this point.

I did some research and found I can create an Integrated Web Server with Apache (http://www.appservnetwork.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=46). I’ve configured all my ports and got a basic webpage to come up.

Now I need to build a webpage that allows:
- Users to log in
- Users to upload and download files

I know very basic HTML, so I would need to find a free HTML editor that could assist me with this. Particularly building an interface to upload and download files. (I don’t even know where to start with this.)

Does anyone have any recommendations? Does anyone know if there is a Live CD (linux or otherwise) that can provide this sort of setup?

Any help would be appreciated. I know what I’m asking for is complex.

Ubuntu Linux Live cd help?

Okay I made a ubuntu linux live cd because I do not plan to mount it onto my hard drive.(Well that’s how puppy linux says it) If I select install linux server, will in install it to my hard drive.

I have a Dell Poweredge 2550 server with 5 hard drives, only one of which I have not had trouble with.?

I want to know which distro of Linux I should load on it. I have tried openSUSE live CD, Ubuntu 7.10 live CD, Fedora Core live cd, and the Ubuntu 6.04 Dapper Drake LTS live CD which is the only one that worked. The ubuntu server 7.10 froze at 21 percent twice with 2 different downloads and cd’s, and so did the Ubuntu 7.10 alternate. I am currently trying the opensuse non live cd. I just want to use it as a file server and to browse the web and stuff like that. It has 2 933mhz prosessors, and 1 gb of memory. Thanks in advance!

Linux for an extreme beginner???

I am interested in learning the basics of linux. Im interested in setting up my own web server and mail server. However I have no idea where to start. Im really confused with all the types of installations. Where do you suggest I start? Live CD I guess is the best way. I have a box with nothing on it at home. But I also have a macbook here at school with me running parallels windows xp so i guess I could download a live cd and run it in the virtual machine windows for practice I wont have to worry about running my mac because it is running virtually right?

If someone could help me out and give me an idea of what route to go and where to find the basics of Linux that would be fantastic.

Thanks so much
