Obviously, you need to use the same credentials as are spelled out within
the BackupPC host configuration. I've *never* used FTP as a XferMethod
for BackupPC, so I'm not exactly sure how it's configured. But you need
to make sure they both work.

Run WRKFLR. You will see all of the shared folders. You can then do
things like 14 (Authority) and 5 (work with documents) to work with the
permissions on each folder and file to make sure the permissions are
correct.

I think this is the better way to go. To my knowledge, very few people
use FTP with BacukpPC, and a number of people use SMB. The tools are
better understood and better tested.
You still may have System i issues to work out (such as permissions), but
at least there are more than just me that can help with the BackupPC side!
