Ok, those files exist. ftpdirs.aut currently reads;
[]
    Admin=*

I just want to use the pub directory &  if I understand what xitami & 
you said, if I want to allow uploads to the default ftp://myswbsite  pub 
directory, could I just change ftpdirs.aut to;

[pub]
       anonymous= "G"
[pub]
       username = "GP"

username being the name of the person I want to allow to upload ?  
Would I need to add another;

[pub]
       username = "GP"

if I were to allow other people to upload.

The ftpusers.aut file currently contains;

[Admin]
access=GPDMR
password=-
root=""
use-Quotas=0 # Enforce quotas per user

[Anonymous]
access=G
password=*
root=pub

[Ftp]
access=G
password=*
root=pub

[Guest]
access=G
password=""
root=pub

[Upload]
access=P
password=xxxxxxxx
root=pub
use-quotas=0
soft-quota=1.0 # Warnings above 4 Mbytes
hard-quota=2.0 # Blocks above 5 Mbytes

I have no need of upload or download quotas so would I keep that at 0 ?
Couldn't I just use this file with the changes I made here to password & 
root??

Thanks,
Alex,
