unless BBBS can use fileboxes and its tosser place everything in the
fileboxes... then just overlay the individual FTP user directories on the
filebox for that user... yes, dual configs to ensure that the username and
password is the same but still likely able to be done... as long as no one can
look at or get the files in the inbound, they should be ok to upload there...
t'would be better with inbound and outbound fileboxes, though...
