Is anyone out there providing multiple host anonymous ftp access?
I've got a hosting customer (a print shop) who I'm trying to setup to
use anonftp to transfer files between his customers because most of
the files are pretty large and end up timing out on mail downloads. 
I've been using wu-ftpd, and have it somewhat working but I've run
into a stumbling block.

Logging in as anonymous to ftp.hisdomain.com works fine, but when I
try to login with his username to ftp.hisdomain.com, I get invalid
password messages.  I'm using wu-ftpd 2.5.0, and here's how I have the
anon stuff setup..

upload  /usr/home/mp/public_ftp	/incoming	yes	mp mp 0660 nodirs

virtual aaa.bbb.ccc.dd root /usr/home/mp/public_ftp
virtual aaa.bbb.ccc.dd banner /usr/home/mp/public_ftp/etc/ftpmotd
virtual aaa.bbb.ccc.dd logfile /usr/home/mp/logs/ftp.log

Each vhost has their own IP btw.  Like I said, logging in anonymously
works fine as does the upload, but now he can't log in to
ftp.hisdomain.com with his username and password.  Has anyone had this
happen?  How do I get around it?  Any insight would be much
appreciated.. this is driving me nuts.

TIA.
