Hi, ipv6 is a newer protocol that is meant to substitute the actual ipv4. IPV6 requires a specific hardware to run. Since the actual protocol is version 4 there is no need to include a specific flag for it. And my suggestion is, use "-ipv6" since you probably doesn't have the hardware for it.
The second point is, will you be using your FTP inside you private network or will it be available to the rest of the world?? If you intent to make it available to the rest of the world or just for you to use via internet, witch means you'll have to leave the FTP port opened, I really suggest you no to use FTP!! Use SCP (ssh) instead. Since it requires user authentication via a secure protocol. FTP is known to be a very big security danger! -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Luiz Carlos Guidolin Aluno de Mestrado Lab. de Física de Plasmas - TOKAMAK TCABR - IFUSP [EMAIL PROTECTED] (particular) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (USP) ............................................................................................
