Bryan's questions

so here's the deal. I have vsftpd installed and am looking to change the default port to something other than 21. I've checked /etc/vsftpd.conf and can't find a setting to change the default port. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04, which doesn't have the /etc/vsftp/vsftpd.conf file. The only line I'm getting in the file that has to do with ports is the following:

connect_from_port_20=YES

Does anyone know if there's another config file somewhere that I can change the default port on or simply the syntax for a need line to change the port?

So here's the deal. I'm new to apache and just installed it today. I got the dirs setup and when I type my IP address (from my ISP) into a browser it pulls up the site fine, but when I try to access it from outside my home network using the same IP I get a 404 not found. I've got port forwarding setup on my router for port 80 and my I checked with my ISP to make sure they didn't block port 80 incoming connections. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

So here's my situation. I have a dual boot windows7 and Ubuntu 10.04.1 on a run-of-the-mill hard drive. In a day or two I will get a new 64GB SSD in the mail and want to boot from that for obvious reasons. I was wondering if there was an easy way to transfer both OS's from my current hard drive to my SSD. I would normally reinstall the two on the new disk but my windows7 product key only works for activation once and I would like to keep it. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

So when I tried installing Burg it came to a screen to select which device to install burg on. I highlighted SDA and hit enter and it just continued without installing it on that device. Is there another key I need to select to mark that option?

btw, I'm using the burg-manager to install it and when I try to emulate the burg menu it comes to this...

                    BURG version 1.98+20100623-1

Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions.

I have a spare computer that has Ubuntu server edition (10.04.1) installed on it and was wonder if there was a way to use my server to help processes data on my Ubuntu desktop (same release). I would like to share any heavy-processor functions with my server to ease the load on my desktop. Does anyone know of a good/easy way to do this? They're connected on the same network through a router. I'll list what I think may be relative components for each one below.

Desktop - Intel core 2 quad @ 2.83Ghz

Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 PCI-E Ethernet Controller (rev b0)

Server - Pentium 4 @ 2.8Ghz with hyper-threading

Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 02)

I was wondering if anyone has a workaround for VNC remote not working with Ubuntu running compiz. From what I can tell it works if I disable compiz effects, but who's not a fan of eye candy? Anyway, it's not a huge deal if there's no work around anyone knows because I've been using nx server instead to remote connect to my desktop. I was just wondering if there's a way to get VNC working because I have an app on my ipod touch that can VNC, but there's no NX client for the itouch.
