Sorry if this is obvious but . . . have you checked whether your server is running in "safe mode"? I had the same problem and finally realized that it would NEVER work cause the webserver was running in safe mode. (Disclaimer here -- I'm no sysadmin and don't know if Linux even has a safemode!)
I'm not sure how to get around this. There are certain specific people I'd like to be able to upload PDFs to the webserver. But I don't want them to have full FTP privileges. I guess one solution would be to find/write an FTP program that you can use to give people limited upload privileges -- for example they can only upload into one specific directory and they can only upload pdfs. I haven't found any such program, so I guess I could write one -- if I knew how to write an ftp program :) PHP has an ftp module I believe, though I'm sure my ISP passed on installing that one. Any ideas, no matter how outlandish, are much appreciated. So many cool things to learn, so little time.
