I'm looking for something like BadBlue web server but for my Mandrake 10 box. I've been seraching for hours but have come up with squat! Anybody know of something like that?

Thanks.

Apache is probably available as an easy to install package for your distribution. Install that RPM, and you can then read up on how to configure it (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/configuring.html).

apache is always nice, but it requires a semi-quasi-pseudo savvy user to set up and secure.
I can give you a hint in your search -- look for an FTP server if you just need file transfer.

or you could try running badblue or haxial kdx server (a private p2p server) through wine. KDX might give you more luck, as there's a mac version available.

which also requires a semi-quasi-pseudo savvy user to set up and secure. ;)

note on wine: you'll spend more time getting it working properly than you would learning how to properly set up and secure a native HTTP or FTP server in linux.
