After you ran chmod, did you check that the permissions were what you
intended them to be? ("ls -l /whatever/incoming", replacing "whatever" with
the actual path)? For anonymous ftp, it's usually enough to have the
directory owned by ftp and writable by ftp ("chmod 200 incoming").
For security reasons, you usually don't want ANY ftp directory to be both
readable AND writable by ftp -- it allows your site to be used anonymously
to swap software. Traditionally, you make upload directories writable,
download directories readable by anonymous users (i.e., by ftp).
If your permissions are set properly, you might see what problem ftp is
logging on the Linux host when the Windows client attempts and fails to upload.
