Download and install the Linux package vsftp. The exact procedure will vary depending on the type and version of Linux you are running. In most cases, for example with Red Hat, Suse or Ubuntu, vsftp is a stable package that is included in the repositories that are used to update your version of Linux. In many Linux installations, vsftp is installed by default, but not started.
Configure VSFTP. The exact location and name of the configuration file will vary slightly depending on the version of Linux you are using. In Ubuntu, the configuration file is 'vsftpd.conf.' Edit this file to change the following settings:
ftpd_banner: Edits the message that is displayed when someone connects to the server.
listen: Enables vsfppd to run in stand alone mode.
xferlog_enable: Enables a detailed log of uploads and downloads.
connect_from_port_20: Defines whether PORT style connections use port 20 on the server.
hide_ids: Hides user IDs, listing all group users as 'ftp.'
max_client: Defines the maximum number of connections allowed in standalone mode.
max_per_ip: Defines the highest number of connections allowed from a particular IP in standalone mode.
anon_root: Defines the root directory for anonymous FTP users.
anonymous_enable: Enables anonymous users.
anon_mkdir_write_enable: Allows anonymous users to create directories. For this option to work, the server must have anonymous uploads enabled, and the ftp user and group must have write permissions on the directory where the new directories will be created.
Once the file vsftpd.conf has been edited to your satisfaction, save the file.
Stop the vsftpd server by typing 'sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd stop.' You should see a message confirming that the server has stopped.
Restart the vsftp server with the new configuration data in /etc/vsftpd.conf by typing 'sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd start.' You should see a message confirming that the server has started.

How to Conduct a Roast PartyIn Feburary 2016 20,
In Feburary 2016 20,
A roast party can work in venues from your backyard to a rented event hall. Set up the room to mimic televised celebrity roasts. Have a seat for the guest of honor in the middle of the stage with a podium and microphone for the roaster nearby. The roasters should be split into two groups and seated on each side of the stage. If the location doesn't have a stage, such as a backyard, arrange the guest of honor, the area for the speaker and the seats for the roasters on an elevated deck.
The Right Roasters
Choosing the roasters is more than just selecting those with a sense of humor. Ideally, the roasters should have a range of relationships with their target. For example, for the roast of a person who's retiring, pick roasters from areas such as the person's work, a service club to which he belongs, a family member and an old friend. Each of these people has different experiences with the honored guest, which means each presentation has a different focus.
Follow the Rules
Establishing rules is paramount. Check with the guest to obtain a list of the topics she doesn't want discussed. For example, he might stress that people avoid talking about his weight or his recent divorce. Share this information with the roasters and ask them to stay away from these topics. Develop a strategy as to what is appropriate based on the guest and those who will be in attendance. If profanity or off-color remarks aren't suitable, share this information with the roasters.
Have a Schedule
Presentations that drag on, even if they're somewhat entertaining, may be tedious for those at the party. Set a time limit -- for example, three minutes -- to which each roaster must adhere. Once the roasts are finished, the guest can take the microphone to roast the roasters. The rebuttal should follow the same taste guidelines you established before the party; give each roaster the ability to say which topics she doesn't want mentioned.

In Feburary 2016 19,
Open Dreamweaver and on the 'File' menu choose the 'New' command. Dreamweaver will present you with a dialogue box that will ask for server and file setup information. You will need to choose the folder where you want to save the files you create in Dreamweaver as well as the location of the server where the files will be uploaded. The server information you need is available from your web host. Once this information is complete, Dreamweaver presents you with a template dialogue box.
Select a template option from the template dialogue box. Dreamweaver offers several catalog templates to choose from. Clicking on any of the templates will bring it up for you to examine. Look at all of them and determine which one fits your needs. If none of them is quite what you need, choose the closest and modify it. You can easily delete sections of the template or add sections of the template by using the Modify menu.
Replace the Dreamweaver template text with your own text. This will be information about your products, including product descriptions and pricing.
Add pictures of your products to your catalog by using the Insert menu. Dreamweaver allows you to set the display size of the graphic and easily create links to full-size versions.
Upload your catalog to your web host using Dreamweaver's built-in FTP (File Transfer Protocol) feature. Your web catalog will dispplay on your website just as you created it.

How to Find Out Who Someone Is on a ForumIn Feburary 2016 15,
In Feburary 2016 15,
Most forums ask for a username, email address and password when somebody signs up. While passwords should always be secret, moderators should be able to access email addresses, even if the user has chosen to hide this in his public profile. In some cases the email address may contain the user's real name. In others you may be able to search online for the address to see if it is mentioned on any other site that might reveal the owner's identity.
IP Address
Moderators should be able to access the IP address of the computer a forum member used, either when registering, on her latest post, or both. You can check the geographic location that matches this address at sites such as IP Location (see Resources), though bear in mind that in some cases this will be the location of the person's Internet service provider. If you can get a geographic location, it may help narrow the search. Alternatively, if you suspect the person has previously posted on the site under a different username (and you know that user's real identity), you can compare the IP addresses on the accounts.
ISPs & Police
Internet service providers will have records that allow them to match an IP address with an individual customer, or at least the customer's household. If an IP check reveals a user's ISP, you can ask the ISP to provide his identity, though it's unlikely the ISP will comply. In most cases an ISP will only do so upon a request from law enforcement authorities and/or a court order. If your reason for wanting to know a user's identity relates to potential criminal activity such as online abuse or harassment, consider contacting the police and letting them work on identifying the individual.
Last Resorts
If you cannot get access to forum data, or it doesn't bring anything up, you can try a few Hail Mary plays. These all might throw up a possible match, but certainly won't be conclusive. If the person has a distinctive avatar, try using Google Image Search to see if she has used it elsewhere. Similarly, carry out a text search if she has a distinctive quotation or other text in their signature, which they may have used on another forum or social site where her identity is clearer. Finally, try right-clicking on any images the user has posted; she may have slipped up and linked to an image hosted on her own site or an identifiable account on another site.

How to Start a Charity Website for FreeIn Feburary 2016 14,
In Feburary 2016 14,
Evaluate your short-term and long-term website needs. If you are fundraising for only a few months, you may not need a website a year from now. However, if you have just started your own charity and plan to be around for the long-term, you will probably want to migrate to a fully hosted website with its own domain name as soon as you can justify the cost.
Look up available domain names for your charity. Most charities and non-profits use a .org domain. For example, the Red Cross uses redcross.org and the American Cancer Society uses cancer.org. To find available domain names, go to the Public Interest Registry website at PIR.org, which manages all .org domains.
Use your charity name if it's available. If it's not available, try using your charity's acronym, an acronym with your location, or words related to your work. Register your domain or make a point of registering it as soon as possible. Domain names cost about $10 per year. You can buy the domain name now and get a Web hosting service later.
Creating a Free Website
Browse any of the free website platforms available online. Some websites, such as Tumblr.com, WordPress.com and Weebly.com, can be used by anyone. Other websites, like Crowdrise.com and JustGiving.com are specifically for charities.
Evaluate your available skills. If someone in your organization has Web design and development experience, it may not matter which platform you choose. If you plan to migrate your free website to a fully hosted domain using WordPress, using WordPress.com now will make it easier to transfer later. If you prefer a user-friendly interface like Weebly.com, you can upgrade from its free plan to your own domain name later without changing your current website at all.
Read the terms and conditions of the website platform you've chosen before starting work. Some platforms may appear to be free until you try to launch your website, or may require payment for the features you want to use. Most free platforms bring in revenue by placing ads on your Web pages. If this is inappropriate, consider buying a Web hosting plan with your own domain name rather than using a free service.
Use the onscreen tutorials to build your Web page. Create an About page telling people what your charity does. Include a Contact page with your phone number, email address and location so people can get in touch with you. If your charity has tax exempt status, put this information on your Contact page or About page as well.

Open your FTP program.
Connect to the server hosting your file. Log in with your username and password.
Find the file you want to transfer. Make note of its location.
Connect and log in to the receiving server. Make sure you haven't broken your connection to the first server.
Find the folder in which you want the file to be located on the receiving server.

How to Plan Family MeetingsIn Feburary 2016 04,
In Feburary 2016 04,
Set a time that works for everyone involved. A Sunday evening before the beginning of the new week is one possibility. Families normally have meetings each week or every other week. Family meetings shouldn’t run longer than about 45 minutes. If you have younger kids, it's a good idea to keep the first few meetings between 10 and 20 minutes, then gradually increase the time so they can get used to sitting through the meetings according to the article '10 Tips for Successful Family Meetings' on Colorado State University's website.
Choose a comfortable location for the meetings such as the dining or living room. It’s a good idea to have family meetings in the same location each week, but don’t shy away from picking a fun location away from home if you’ve had a tense week. A pizza place or ice cream parlor are easy, fun locations.
Plan the agenda for your meeting and keep it consistent. It might include sharing and coordinating schedules, complimenting each other, discussing and solving problems, a fun activity and information on the next family meeting.
Design and post a chart showing the agenda ahead of time so everyone knows what to expect. Keep the chart up as a reminder.
Discuss and write down rules before the meeting. Possible rules include everyone gets a chance to talk, no interrupting and no putting others down. At the first meeting you might also explain using “I” rather than “You” statements to avoid blaming others. For example, “I feel frustrated when you do x, y, z,” is better than saying, “You make me frustrated when you do x, y, z.”
Designate a leader for the first couple meetings, ideally a responsible adult family member. After that, it’s important to rotate the role so everyone feels they're involved. Adults can help younger family members who aren’t quite ready to lead on their own. Other roles you might consider are a secretary to keep notes and a time keeper to make sure the meetings run on time.
Plan activities to help younger children share their ideas. They might draw a picture of what they want to do or give something special to someone as a compliment.
Gather supplies for the meeting. A family calendar where you can make notes of weekly activities and family meetings, a list of activities, paper and a pen are all supplies to have handy.
Plan a fun activity for after the family meeting. This ensures the meeting ends on a good note and encourages more bonding.
