Title: Modifying /etc
Post by: RyanF109 on November 12, 2010, 07:05:03 PM

Excuse my, not absolutely none, but limited experience with linux.

I've installed Tiny Core on my otherwise dormant 10 year old Dell Optiplex. My plan was to use it as a server to upload FTP files locally within my network and then every night run a shell script to compress the folder containing the uploaded files.

However I'm finding it difficult using tftpd since whenever I modify anything in /etc it reverts during the next reboot! Does tinycore uncompress its self onto here or something? Is there a way to stop this?

The simplest way is to use backup.

Add directories you want to be saved to /opt/.filetool.lst.


(Another option is to make a new extension with the files you want saved.)

Thanks Guy  ;D! Got that far now. What would be the best way to make my Tiny Core act as an FTP server? Or any sort of file server.

I used bftpd, and works excellently.
