campus - The FTP-server for the BeOS®

campus: Using campus

In order to use campus you need

  • A computer capable of running the BeOS®

  • A network of any kind

    Comment: Okay, you don't need a network, but it's rather useless to have an ftp-server without anyone to connect to it...
To start campus, simply doubleclick it from the Tracker or start it from the Terminal application.

Note: To use the passive mode correctly be sure that the BeOS® knows your own hostname ! To test this type

ping <hostname>

in the Terminal application.<hostname> must be substituted by the name you entered in the Network Preferences panel, for example www.stegemann.net. The system should output something like this:

PING www.stegemann.net: 64 byte packets
64 bytes from 207.96.75.130: icmp_seq=0. time=5. ms
64 bytes from 207.96.75.130: icmp_seq=1. time=1. ms
64 bytes from 207.96.75.130: icmp_seq=2. time=3. ms
If ping complains that it can't find the host the network settings are not correct. A possible solution is to enter the IP address of your machine in the file /boot/beos/etc/hosts. To do this enter a line in the file stating the IP address followed by the hostname and any aliases for the host. All fields are separated by a space or tab. For example:

207.96.75.130 stegemann.net www.stegemann.net

To change the configuration without having to quit campus start the Terminal application and then start campus with the filename of the new configuration as argument.

If the filename is omitted campus will reload the default configuration from /boot/home/config/settings/campus_settings.
