(btw: thanks for having another non-NT ProFTPd server I could test with)

I *really* wish ProFTP would fix 'sunique' support. Try this:

	ftp <your favorite ProFTP server>
	ftp> sunique
	Store unique on.
	ftp> cd incoming
	ftp> put <file>
	local: <file> remote: <file>
	200 PORT command successful.
	500 STOU not understood.
	ftp> quit

or better yet:

	ftp <your favorite ProFTP server>
	ftp> sunique
	Store unique on.
	ftp> cd incoming
	ftp> mkdir <file>
	257 MKD command successful.
	ftp> put <file>
	local: <file> remote: <file>
	200 PORT command successful.
	500 STOU not understood.
	ftp> quit

Both FreeBSD and WU FTPds dutifully do as they should in the first case
and correctly make a '<file>.1' file in the second case. You will notice
that you don't have to send an 'STOU' command to have it misunderstood.
Jeez, even NT Server's FTPd does better than this.

Of course our vendor's default FTP sending script for EDI messaging
depends on this feature working, so ProFTP was replaced with WarFTPd on
their machine. It has it's own faults, but this part works. - Jy@
