When installed, the FTP server only allows downloads of files. You'll need to edit /etc/ftpaccess (check the ftpaccess manpage for information) to allow uploads. FTP changes it's idea of root when you log into it. Any files that you want to read from will need to be in the /home/ftp hierarchy. I believe you'll need to cut/paste your /etc/passwd information into /home/ftp/etc/passwd in order to allow yourself a "real user" login. -- Steve Philp Network Administrator Advance Packaging Corp.
