Before You Start

Before you start, verify that your local FTP server is running any of the following operating systems— FC 6 (Fedora™ Core 6), FC 4, CentOS 4.4 (Community Enterprise Operating System 4.4), RHEL 5 (Red Hat® Enterprise Linux ES Release 5), and RHEL 4.

Note: FC 4 operating system is supported only with 32-bit architecture, and all other operating systems are supported with both 32-bit and 64-bit architecture.

You cannot use an FTP server running on the Microsoft Windows operating system because the file naming conventions in Linux and Windows systems differ. Many Parallels Pro Control Panel RPMs use the colon (:) character in their file names, which is invalid in a Windows environment.
