That is similar how to how I have been doing it when I had proftpd. Except I could not get it to allow me to upload unless I logged in as one of my users, and when I did that, I only had two files, like bashsomething. which were in the folder with my Linux username. So I put files there and used the MV command to put them in my FTP folders. But with vsftpd, I have messed the conf file to the point that I need to start from a good file, and I cannot log in in windows. So if this lynx thing works, I will be good to go, and I better save a good-working conf file for future use. I can't believe I did not do that from the start. I always did that in windows with batch files, and ini files.

When I want to transfer files from the windows box to the linux box, I just copy the desired file to my clipboard, then use internet explorer to get to my ftp server's "incoming" directory, then paste / upload the file there. Then I go onto the linux box to change the ownership, permissions, etc. as needed. I do have ftp voyager on the windows box, but don't use it all that often. Actually, what I need to do is to set up samba and learn it, but that's a project for another day.
