Thanks for the advice.

I've got vsFTPd running, but now, but I'm having a new set of problems. It
only allows anonymous users to log in, people with accounts can't log in at
all.
I tried setting "anonymous_enable=NO" in the /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf, but it
still only lets anonymous users in. Can anybody help walk me through the
steps of properly setting up vsftpd. I just want to set it up where
anonymous can't log in, and where people with accounts are jailed in their
home directories. 

Thanks for any help,
