John, Nate, Daniel.
Thank you, I will see if ProFTP has its own user system I can use as they are just uploading web content, I dont need them to be accounts on the system.
This list is awesome BTW, never has any group been so helpful! I am really learning and I dont think I will go back to Windows hosting ever again. (I use OS on my desktop)

Hi All,
I am confused about users. IIRC, ftp users are just ordinary users on the system (/etc/passwd)
Is there an add user wizard from the command-line?
Quick way is typically: adduser <username> passwd <username>
actually, useradd is the proper command. adduser is a alias
I dont quite get all of the steps to add a user, dont let login except FTP, etc, etc
Here I would run: chsh <username>
and set it to something like /sbin/nologin or /dev/null, this will
or...
useradd -s /sbin/nologin username passwd username
and do it in one pass
