To use ioftpd as freely as possible you need to learn some basic tcl scripting. Sorry for that but thta is just how it is. I saw no script yer that does it, but you need to make a [pre] script with USER= . I suggest you download some of theother tcl scripts you can download from the inicom site and check them out. tcl scripting can be found on http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/TclCmd/contents.htm
