Not an ftp server?

[gloomer]

Does that mean if I start selling hosting space, people can't upload there site via ftp?:

Or does that just mean that I, the computer running the server can't use ftp.

Because that would be awfully difficult explaining other methods for uploading other than ftp.

This can't be.. this would be the only flaw in the server.

Please tell me differently.

This server is an HTTP Server, not an FTP Server. You can download an FTP
server at http://filezilla.sourceforge.net

To elaborate on that, the HTTP server (Abyss) only sends pages out. It is used to allow others to view the html fiels stored on your computer. If you want people to be able to add files, you are right, FTP is the way to go. But as mentioned you will need a seperate program for this. Again, as mentioned, FileZilla is an excellent choice. You can set up users and only allow them access to certain folders. THe way I owuld do it is set up abyss to serve up a folder (let's call it "web", then inside of there create a new folder for each user ("user1", "user2", etc.). In FileZila, allow User1 only access to the "User1" folder. THen they can upload fiels there, and thsoe files can be viewed by goign to http://yourservername.com/user1/

You could also use a PHP script to upload files to the server.

Yes, you can use php to upload, and there are numerous things like cPanel that allow uploading through a browser, but for speed and so on FTP can be easier to just setup. Not to mention cPanel is is insanely expensive, and doesn't work with Abyss.
