That requires you to create each user account as accounts, thus showing up at 
the log-in screen, and having multiple profiles, thus making this approach very 
clunky for my purposes. Also, The instructions on Ehow.com say to go to system 
preferences, choose "Sharing" and look for "FTP sharing" or "FTP Server" 
something like that, but I do not see that anywhere in the services table. That 
is an idea though provided I could find this missing option and chose to use 
only one or two user accounts.
