Yep!  Apparently when I first brought up the system I learned about the 
/etc/ftpusers file, and to get it to work I commented out the line with 
"root" on it. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. FTP now is 
working the same as in the old build. Your comment caused me to look at 
the filenames in /etc, and that one jumped out at me.

I do understand about security, it won't be accessible to the world in 
that confiuguration.

Thanks again!

Jay
