    I use wu-ftpd here also, and haven't had any problems. It could be that the
    user doesn't have permission to view the incoming directory? I have never
    used it as yet, my server is an anonymous server so various folks can grab
    files and I've not had problems with that.

    No one has ever uploaded anything here, so I have never gotten any reports of
    problems, but then no one has ever tried. :)

    Is it files in your incoming directory that your having problems with?
