Whenever I log into ftp and I want to check who owns the files it always tells me the owner is user "ftp."

I have tested this on ws_ftp and smartftp. No matter what the owner really is the ftp client always tells me the owner of files and directories is the user "ftp."

Any way to change it so that it give me accurate information?
 
perhaps your proftpd.conf has the directives:

DirFakeUser on ftp
DirFakeGroup on ftp

to just display these fake entries ?

change to off, and restart proftpd..
