Subj : Hosting FTN FTP with Synchronet?

Do any FTP hubs that are running Synchronet have their system set up to allow
for FTN mail transfers via FTP?  I was thinking of adding this using the
built-in ftp server.  However, I think I have realized that this might not be
possible.

What I did was to set up a file group for "ftn ftp" with a LEVEL requirement.
Then I set up a test user with that access level and, under the "ftn ftp"
group, I set up a file directory with access requirements set to that test
user's user number.

I then placed a test file into that directory.

When I ftp onto the system as that test user, I can access the file group and
the file area, but I can only see the 00index file.  This makes me think that
the user can only see what is in the directory if the files are put there and
ADDFILES has run to add them to the BBS file database.  Is that correct?

Thanks!
