texte = I think the Mac OS X client only permits users controlled through the OS user permissions and there is no config file. The theory is that it's inflexible so that users don't ruin it. I think ProFTP may permit .ftaccess files that rule on permissions on a folder by folder basis. I don't know the what FTP server is included with Mac OS X Server, but it must be different than the client. I also don't know about Rumpus or WebStar FTP.
