Thanks Darrick,
Polycom phones writing logs back via FTP is interesting, new web interface
support for FTPD_WRITE [ read/write, read-only ] might be handy for disallowing
writing in case you forgot to disable that feature in a phone.
We'll also be adding support for editing a custom /mnt/kd/vsftpd.conf and
restarting vsftpd via the web interface.
