Silly question perhaps, but are you root?

Hi all, 

for access to log files and creating backups I`d like to install ftp server on my nslu2. It is set up as advised on cyrius.com and running well.

I tried:

> apt-get install proftpd

and got:

Indeed, the directory doesn't exist, so I created it and upon reentering the install command I got:

> E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt/

How can I make this work?

Thanks, Tobias.
