/etc/ftpusers is actually the list of accounts that should be *denied*
access via FTP. You don't want your UID in there if you want to use FTP.
Make sure the login shell for your account is mentioned in /etc/shells.
Failing that, curse FTP as an archaic and inherently insecure protocol
completely unsuitable for today's internet, and switch to using sftp(8)
instead -- which has the look and feel of FTP, but which runs tunnelled
over SSH.
Cheers,
Matthew
