I am new to linux. I have a server that I have successfully installed Debian Lenny on and everything else needed for a LAMP server.

But I am unsure how to setup FTP. My first attempt went horribly wrong had a load of permission issues.

How can I give full read/write access to my WWW folder.

The more in-depth the answer the better. I feel like such a noob.
