check out your config file for
http://tsc.asiainfo.com/tsc/down_nettools/reference.html#ScoreboardPath

cool i got it to work kinda

i just have to out this in each time i restart the server
/etc/init.d/proftpd start

What distribution are you using? For RH, run "ntsysv" and make sure that proftpd is checked; for Debian, look at "man update-rc.d".

in webmin i told it to auto start now so i have that fixed thank you for the idea.

Jeremy

but now i have to learn to add a new account for teh ftp

how do u make a user accout for proftp via ssh or webmin, with access to /usr/web/ or /home/httpd the one that has the index page in it that you see this in it http://64.60.167.250

is this right for the ssh part??

useradd -d /home/httpd -s /bin/false -G apache,nobody,www someuser
