Shell and FTP

[tklaver]

I've added a shell account to my box which should have FTP access as well. Though it looks like ProFTPd uses a different passwd file to authenticate it's users.

What steps are needed to give that shell user FTP access as well?

Thanks!

You can create ftp accounts through DirectAdmin.

Proftpd passwords are stored in /etc/proftpd.passwd (at least in Debian)

That's not what I mean.

I made a shell account from the command line; so it has no hosting whatsoever. Now I want to make it so that the shell account gets FTP access as well, without using /etc/passwd in the ProFTPd config.
