   Thanks to all who responded to my original question.   
   (1) It has the option of being a Daemon. I just want on-off connection.   
   (2) I invoke this server "pure-ftpd" from a su Dolphin; quit with a   
   Ctrl-C.  The client, Filezilla, was not connecting.  At the time I did   
   not realize it included a basic "pure-ftpd.conf" that needed to be   
   included in calling up the server.  Filezilla then made a connection:   
   Tumbleweed was connected to LEAP 15.6.   
      
   Now, the next problem: the server (pure-ftpd) is on LEAP and Client   
   Filezilla is on Tumbleweed   
   (1) Client Filezilla on Tumbleweed (LocalSite) shows from "/" the whole   
   filesystem & filestructure   
   (2) Server "pure-ftpd" is (Remote site) on LEAP computer. The call for   
   the local filesystem starts with "/" root directory.  It yields "empty"   
   (3) I know it is protecting the protecting the Remote file system, but I   
   am same user (administrator), same password on both computers. I can't   
   figure out how to get the Remote site (LEAP) to open any directories   
   since "/" comes up as empty.   
   (a) Permissions for "/" are owned by root (me, both cpu's), Read rites   
   are for users and others.  I ran both server and client under su   
   Dolphin. No change   
   (b) What I need to do is temporarily gain permissions for the remote   
   site LEAP somehow from Tumbleweed or suspend all permissions on LEAP   
   temporarily so the "/" directory will be revealed.   
   (c) If I reverse Local and Remote sites (Tumbleweed Remote as server and   
   LEAP as client under filezilla, The Remote connects and successfully   
   downloads "/" on Tumbleweed as an empty directory.   
      
   I need someone with more wisdom on this than me. I know I could run   
   files between the two with a flash drive, but prefer FTP if possible.
