getting started with Apache?

[ChrisE]

I just set up an old desktop computer with Ubuntu server, apache, mysql, php, and tomcat. The goal is to have a private testing server.

I've never done something like this before, and I've always just uploaded files to a web server through a web interface.

I can't figure out how to get access with this server I just made though. I can point my browser to it and I get a nice little page that indicates it is working, but I haven't figured out how to access the server any other way to actually start putting test websites on it.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Now you have a web server program running, either install an FTP server program and access it that way via FTP, or else just make the document folders sharable on your network and dump files there using whatever file manager you normally use.

Are there any open source ftp programs I should look at?

Thanks

Oh, I see in Ubuntu's documention that I can get ftp and SSH using their apt-get system.

Thanks for the help.

FileZilla will work fine

Thanks for the help. I've got it running, and put some test files on it. Works great.
