HI,
I am a total linux newbie.
I just installed archlinux, I want to download packages now, Ill start by configuring a apache server.... Is there a ftp client included with arch linux ?? If so, how do I run it?
Thanks

Umm, I would recommend you to spend some time with the arch wiki to get an idea of how things work.
I haven't lost my mind; I have a tape back-up somewhere.

A server _serves_ content, it lets other people download stuff _from_ your pc but it doesn't let you download stuff _to_ your pc.
Read the wiki, as suggested above, start here.

It's in the wiki. Seriously, you should read the page I gave you.
You will be having loads of questions like this if you don't (especially because you consider yourself a "linux newbie") and the beginners guide will answer many of them.

Ok I will make sur I read the whole guide first.
This distribution is aimed at users that know linux but... I think using this dist will force me to learn linux, right ?

No. Nothing will force you to learn. Though, if you choose to do so, I am sure you will. Arch has the best documentation available; read it.

You're the only one who can force yourself to learn linux. We can stand upside our heads and run around screaming and yelling, but that won't help. It helps to get things of your chest once in a while though!
The only obstacle to 'learning linux' is you. First lesson: learn to google. Second lesson: learn to use the resources offered by Linux itself (any Linux distro, for that matter: man pages, help arguments for commands). Third lesson: consult distro-specific documentation before asking. Misfit138 will personally take offense if you don't .
Initiative (or lack thereof) is what will (or won't) turn you into a Linux user beyond dabbling level.
