Anonymous FTP upload problem to /pub

[TheJuiceman]

I recently setup Anonymous FTP on my system. Everything seems fine, except I get the following message when trying to upload to /pub:

550 fchown: Invalid argument.

It will write the file with 0 bytes. I have /pub set with 1733 perms and root:other as the owner. I also have the upload line in /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess looking like this...

upload /home/ftp /pub yes nobody nogroup 0600 dirs

What am I missing? Thanks.

What does getprivgrp(1) show? If that doesn't allow you to use CHOWN, then you may be getting that in ftp.

is the command suppose to be chown or chmod? (assuming he given argument is 550)
