FTP Server for Red Hat 9 w/ GUI

Hi, I'm looking for a FTP server for Red Hat linux 9 which has a GUI and is easy to install. With all of the programs pre-installed with red hat, I'm amazed that they didn't include a graphical FTP server. Supposedly there are FTP servers which are just command line and are anonymous *ick,* but what I want is an easy to install one (otherwise, could you please tell me step by step what I have to type into the terminal).

I previously had windows on the machine, but switched to red hat. So far RH is pretty good, except that I need an FTP server 🙁.

TIA!
 
What is the point? daemons are supposed to run quietly in the background.

If you absolutely can't bear to read a config file install Webmin (which will probably require some reading anyway) and use that to configure something like ProFTPd. But realize that if you really want to use Linux you'll have to come to terms with the fact that a lot of stuff is done via the command line (because it's usually easier, contrary to Windows users' belief) and you'll have to RTFM because contrary to the Windows world most docs on the unix world are usefull.

Well I got Webmin installed, and seems pretty cool. I'll now try to see if I can get an FTP server configured.
