FTP server with proftpd - HELP, IT'S POSSESSED!!!

[Jim March]

Same username/password?  Yup.  The issue is, I can't then get to the
files at the Ubuntu server station.

The deal is, the box that's now an FTP server has always been a file
server.  The location that the printer/scanner is sending to is also
shared across samba to Windows clients.  But right now, I can't even
get to the files in anything EXCEPT an FTP client.

Huh?
