Also, anyone ever used this on Pair.com? They have a funny way of setting up ftp uploads. In your root directory you have your hidden files
with
public_ftp/ folder in the root as well as
public_html/ folder where root url for your www.mysite.com files go.
Pair uses FreeBSD Apache.
In other words the public_ftp folder is cordoned off to a safe location. I can chmod individual folders, but it doesn't necessarily make them writeable, AFAIK.
Thanks
After the upgrade is processed, a "public_ftp" link will be placed in your account's home directory. You can use that to access your ftp directory (direct path: /usr/public_ftp/username).
If you would like users to be able to upload files to your FTP site, create a subdirectory named "incoming" within your FTP tree, and set it to be world-writable (chmod 733). The "incoming" directory has special meaning to our FTP software (NcFTPd), and users will be able to upload files into the directory. Please note that the incoming directory is "write-only," and users will not be able to download the files uploaded into it. This is a security precaution, as having a directory that can be both written to and read from is an open invitation for software pirates to traffic software through your site.

I found that there needs to be a way to add my own passwords to enable a CMS to work, but I don't see anything like that in the instructions:
> Virtual FTP is for anonymous users to retrieve files by FTP.
> A content management system will need to use FTP (or preferably
> SFTP or SCP) with your actual login in order to upload files.
