Ftp server on 3mx how to create a allowed user to transfer files onto 3mx?

[vikingali]

Hi
Does anyone know how to create an allowed user on the ftp server on 3MX?
I have followed the instruction I think but is the password still the same or do I need to create a new one somewhere?
I can log on from windows and transfer files from 3mx but can't put files onto it don't have access to create directories.
Have created a name in /etc/ftpallow and removed "#"  from the auth required line pam_listfile.so item=user sense=allow files=/etc/ftpallow onerr=fail in /etc/pam.d/pure-ftpd

What I am I missing?
thanks
Ali

I am a bit closer to knowing whats wrong I think ! As far as I can make out I can get the user name reconised but it won't log on because I think I need to create a password on the 3MX machine but I can'[t figure out how to do this !!
Does any know ?
thanks
Ali
