Yep, DOS ftp and ws_ftp both echo back the wu-ftp version number when I try
to log in.
In Webmin extended internet services, both ftp entries look identical
except one starts with the -a parameter, and the other uses -A. the man
pages indicate that -a enables use of ftpaccess, -A disables it.
I've tried it with both enabled and each enabled separately, but I still
can't login. With the ftpaccess disabled, I don't even get prompted to
login. For now I've left the one with the -a option enabled, because it
really seems wrong to have both enabled. But still no login.
