FTP users without @

If you're the owner of the box, with root access, and if you're a reasonably good systems administrator, then you can add a user from the command line.

First you'll have to use the adduser command.

Then the passwd command to set the initial password.

Then, unless you've used the adduser command with the right command line options to create the home directory where you want it, you'll have to edit the /etc/passwd file.

Then you'll have to edit the Proftpd config file to tell it to allow the user to log in using ftp.
