Make sure that "no limits" is really in place all of the way through,
that is use terminal to look at the uploaded field to make sure that
the perms did not get clobbered, that ftp user really does have read
and write (not just write permission -- which is drop box mode).
How are you running the ftp server, via the built in proxy or via
sftp? It may only be letting you in via drop-box mode. Are there any
issues with the DHCP settings (again one-way only?)

p.s. As you may have guessed, OS-X is big on using that one-way only
ftp access for safety reasons, getting it turned off everywhere is
the trick.

Someday, I will come up with a clever signature line. I am not sure
if I will use it or not, but I will come up with one.
