Thanks Blacknight,
at the moment I have the standard Apache install so my web root is
/var/www and there is the default folder
apache2-default/ in there.
Do I create a group/user which the Apache/
FTP uses which is allowed write?
I can't/don't want to be logging in as root, and I don't think that should be necessary but at the moment all the folders such as
FTP/Web are owned by root.
