Well Mike you silly person :-) you have to modify in
/etc/proftpd.conf:
# Set the user and group that the server normally runs at.
# MRL: original line was: "Group nogroup" but there is no
group called this on my RedHat
# system.
User nobody
Group nobody
and you forgot to change the line in /etc/hosts.allow to
say:
in.proftpd: <remote machine's name>
rather than "in.ftpd"
Now it works!
Thanks Mike
