I have set up a new user, but it can't log in to ftp either.

Checked the denied ftp users in webmin and my new user is not listed.
I gather that a user's login for ftp should not be the same as their system login, due to the fact that if a security breach in the ftp program allowed a user to access the command line they would have privledges to do quite a bit of damage. I suppose this is why webmin has options to set username aliases (?)

Obviously I have more reading to do, but some pointers would be appreciated.
