Your ftp server should pick it up though. Which one are > you using? I don't recall installing DES, but I may very well have when I upgraded it from 2.1.0 to 2.2.6. It appears that any user added since the upgrade not only has the shorter encrypted password but also cannot ftp in (the machine only has a couple of users). The ftpd I'm using is wu-ftpd 2.4.2 which was also installed before the upgrade. I may try proftpd since I found mention of a problem with wu-ftpd and logins in the email archives, unfortunately there wasn't much info there about the problem.
