Exclamation ftp doesnt allow to login as root?

hi,
m using ftp for transfering file bt it doesnt allow me to login as root on that machine.
i think its due to security reasons,bt m nt getting d idea behind this.
because if i know the root password then anyway i can do whatever i want on dat machine,so y it is restricting me to login as root,ya i can login as an ordinary user.or is there anyway to overcome this thing.
bye.

check your ftpusers file

/etc/ftpd/ftpusers

there you will have root included denying ftp access when trying to login as root
