   unless BBBS can use fileboxes and its tosser place everything in the   
   fileboxes... then just overlay the individual FTP user directories on the   
   filebox for that user... yes, dual configs to ensure that the username and   
   password is the same but still likely able to be done... as long as no one can   
   look at or get the files in the inbound, they should be ok to upload there...   
   t'would be better with inbound and outbound fileboxes, though...
