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

[Stephen]

Check your samba/user permissisons to the FTP location.

If possible use the same permissions for the FTP login as are applied
to the samba share (unless you have samba users logging in. then
consider a user that is part of the samba users as well.
