webmail & FTP i use my own ftp and webmail, do i have to install them or it will install and work without them ?
Thanks in advance for help.

ISPConfig will work without them, but your FTP setup will most likely not work with ispconfig. So if you dont install pure-ftpd, your sites can not be accessed with FTP.

hello again and thanks for fast response.
I never used pure-ftp before with ispconfig, i installed ispconfig 3 and setup 2 sites , dns when it comes to upload the files i looked and there was on the left side menu : Pure FTP only have one submenu which is Add new user, i did add then from here i didn't know what to do ! the ftp in other control panels will open for you to browse the files on the desktop but all it has here is add user, i tried to check everything to see if there is anything else about Ftp, nothing so how do i upload my files ? i used to use another external ftp's but i heard it doesn't work with ispconfig 3, so i am lost at this point and need some help.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Please use an FTP client such as FileZilla.

21 is the normal FTP port, so that is ok.
