The FTP hierarchy seems to be having problems:
Directories /var/ftp/pub/project/* are owned by ftp:nogroup, with the predictable result that projects cannot create new files -- or delete existing ones in their ftp directories. Oops.
I confess total ignorance when it comes to the administrative issues behind FTP, so no comment there.
But if this is the sane way to do things, then we should keep the /project/*/ftp directories separate from the actual ftp-directories, and rsync them every 5 minutes, or something like that.

Well, the problem is that our FTP server chowns the directories whenever someone accesses them. I haven't found a switch for turning this feature off yet but surely there must be one here somewhere.
If I can't figure it out relatively soon I'll set up a different FTP server and see if it behaves better. We could also go the rsync way but it would be better to have real-time behaviour for the FTP directories like we have for the www directories.
