addendum to ftp

Hello again, I think this may be part of the problem. I sshed into
computer 2 loging in as root, I ftped to computer 1 loging in as webuser,
who is the owner of the directories I wanted to transfer. On computer 2
the owner of the directory that I want to transfer into is webuser, not root.

Should I have logged in to computer 2 as webuser?
