Thanks - I didn't find anything in my logs, unless I
was looking at the wrong place.  I used
/var/log/vsftpd.log

You did make me think about the path.  I entered the
absolute path, not relative.  I needed to use /pub/
where asked the 'location' of the RedHat files.

It worked.  Thanks again.

Roger
