proftpd problem

[CaptRR]

Well I'm a Linux Newbie so of course I decided to fire up Mandrake and use it. Well all was going well and after some minor problems I was able to get mysql, php, and apache running. Now though I needed a way to get the webpages from my main computer(windows box) to the Linux box.

I decided to use proftpd since it works with webmin so I installed proftpd fiired up webmin and attempted to set it up. Well the redults after 2 days have been less than fully sucessful. I can see my var/www/html directory and can read from it, but I cannot change or write to it.

All the articles I've read deal with allowing anon users to upload, I just want one user (me) to be able to use the ftp. Anyways heres a copy of my proftpd.conf file to help out.

# This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file (rename it to
# 'proftpd.conf' for actual use. It establishes a single server
# and a single anonymous login. It assumes that you have a user/group
# "nobody" and "ftp" for normal operation and anon.

ServerName "ProFTPD Default Installation"
ServerType standalone
DefaultServer on

# Allow FTP resuming.
# Remember to set to off if you have an incoming ftp for upload.
AllowStoreRestart on

# Port 21 is the standard FTP port.
Port 21
# Umask 022 is a good standard umask to prevent new dirs and files
# from being group and world writable.
Umask 022

# To prevent DoS attacks, set the maximum number of child processes
# to 30. If you need to allow more than 30 concurrent connections
# at once, simply increase this value. Note that this ONLY works
# in standalone mode, in inetd mode you should use an inetd server
# that allows you to limit maximum number of processes per service
# (such as xinetd)
MaxInstances 30

# Set the user and group that the server normally runs at.
User nouser
Group nogroup

# Normally, we want files to be overwriteable.
<Directory /var/www/html/>
AllowOverwrite on
</Directory>

# Needed for NIS.
PersistentPasswd off

# Default root can be used to put users in a chroot environment.
# As an example if you have a user foo and you want to put foo in /home/foo
# chroot environment you would do this:
#
# DefaultRoot /home/foo foo

<Limit CWD MKD RNFR DELE RMD RETR STOR SITE_CHMOD READ WRITE DIRS>

<Limit CWD MKD RNFR DELE RMD RETR STOR SITE_CHMOD READ WRITE DIRS ALL>

I don't use , but this line looks as if it should be investigated further for completeness. No assignments have been made.

# Set the user and group that the server normally runs at.
User nouser
Group nogroup

I tried using it with a usename, but it didn't work, I havn't tried to screw with the group yet, I'll try it out later today.
