would you be willing to post your vsftp.conf? i read through the man page and it has very very few options and nothing about adding users, what directory they are privy to, upload, setting the ip of the server, the proper port, etc.
also, is it necessary to actually add the users to my system in userdrake to allow them access to the ftp server? the man page also says to see "SEE ALSO
vsftpd.conf(5)" but i dont know where to even find that and have looked,
