Question I need help setting up FTP acocunts

Its Slackware 8, using pro-ftp. I can login using the account i made the other night, and delete and upload whatever i want in my Home dir. I added another account tonight, and i cant upload or anything, I get a Permission denied. I can login fine. The only thing I did different was change the home dir for the account. I think im just doing something wrong thats really stupid. I searched around and couldnt find a solution. Anyone?


thanks.

Did you add a kind of special ftp user or a normal user (i use wu-ftp so I'm not real sure about the help I can give but at least your post will be on the top again)

I just added a regular user to the system. I can telnet into the system with that user and pass i added, just can't get ftp to work. I know I'm doing something wrong.
