The directory is not owned by ftp. Well I assume that you have already used the config_anonftp command that sets up basic anonymous ftp. I don't know if this helps at all but the way I have it set up is a dir with the same group as the users that want to use it. That way when they ftp they can put things in there when the ftp with thier user names and passwords. Or let them create the dir there themselves and their user and group id will auto be appropriate. Then of course you're looking at a /usr dir. I mean if they're anonymously ftping then they're logged in as ftp and have all the perms of the user ftp. I of course am talking in circles. Think about what uid and gid the dir has and then think about modes. -Eric (feel free for someone to asnwer my popper/smtp problem)
