using vsftp

[A. Jorge Garcia]

Hi Everyone!

I have a question which probably has a simple answer....

I setup a PC with Ubuntu Desktop 10.04 on one partition and WinXP on 
another.  To the Linux partition I added vsftp and openssh using 
aptitude.  I can ssh into this "server" and I can access it via 
anonymous ftp as well.  I did this some time ago (Sept?) and don't 
recall how I added files to the ftp server.  I have a file there that I 
can download from other PCs so I must have added files there before.

Today, I tried copying files from an old ftp server to this new one and 
got an error something like "operation on supported."  Since when is 
copying files not supported?  Then, I figured I had to be root to add 
files to the new ftp server so I opened a terminal, ran sudo su and 
tried copying to /home/ftp from the other site via nautilus but got the 
same error.  What am I missing here?

TIA,
