after extensive messing around.. i have finally figured out how to get the ftp working.. i can get to the ftp. My problem is, the FTP username i created (due to what the manual said) has no permission to do anything to the site (upload or anything). I tried to "adduser gear" on root@localhost.. i also created a password. This did create, but i am unable to log onto the ftp with the new username and password.. i am also unable to log in as root.... I checked all my settings from the readme and nothing seems to be wrong.. maybe i am just creating the user incorrectly
