Apache Newb: ftp accounts

Hello,

I recently setup an Apache server, v.1.32. It works great and it is
hosting my webpage, but now I want to give my brother an ftp account
on my webserver so I can host his webpage too.

How do I setup an FTP account in Apache? I have looked all over the
web for a tutorial, but to no avail.

Here's my setup:
Apache 1.32
Windows XP Pro
400 Mhz, 128 MB RAM
DSL

Thanks guys.

You don't do it in apache.
You use an ftp server for this.

I would say, simple and easy enough, get pure ftp ... it's stable and rather
easy to setup.
In apache you setup a virtual container for your brother and then you set
him up as user in pure ftp with home directory to the exact same as the
apache document root for his virtual host. That way it'll work nicely.
