I am trying to make my /usr/ftp/incoming directory writeable 
but the files in it undeleteable.

i am logging in as anonymous without password and can put files in and also 
delete them, i dont want people to be able to delete them...

i tried some of these commands without success

chmod 1777 /usr/ftp/incoming
chown root /usr/ftp/incoming
chgrp wheel /usr/ftp/incoming
chmod 1755 /usr/ftp/incoming  (cant write to it now)

I read the man pages on sticky and even printed them out.

i made the directory owned by root and group wheel with permissions
set to 1777 but i still can delete the files in the directory?

what am i doing wrong here?

should files in the incoming directory be deleteable according to these
permissions?

$ ls -la
total 6
dr-xr-xr-x   6 root  operator  512 Feb  6 14:52 .
drwxr-xr-x  22 root  wheel     512 Feb  5 09:46 ..
dr-xr-xr-x   2 root  operator  512 Feb  4 23:26 bin
dr-xr-xr-x   2 root  operator  512 Feb  4 23:26 etc
drwxrwxrwt   2 root  wheel     512 Feb  6 17:40 incoming
drwxr-xr-x   2 ftp   operator  512 Feb  6 15:53 pub
