RE: Setting up FTP
There is a file to edit /etc/proftpd.conf.
There are many many options take, a look at www.proftp.org for the docs.
My main issue was chroot (Not letting real users get above a specific
directory.)
I created a specifc group for these users, and specifed then in the .conf
.
The only odd hiccup was that by default Debians .conf did not allow
overwriting of files.
The install if I remember did create a /home/ftp dir.
