Hi again,
	I certainly haven't had any problems in regards to iTools & 
netinfo, but I have heard the odd person having problems.
	In regards to the permissions issue though, make sure that 
the user is actually part of the ftpguest group, which if it was 
created by iTools, it should automatically be included in ftpguest - 
also, is the user's home directory the same as where they are 
uploading to? If it's not, then that could be why they are unable to 
see the files after the upload. I'd get in touch with Tenon support 
by email to see if they can log in to check the system prior to your 
upgrade, to ensure things are working properly before anything gets 
stuffed up during the upgrade.

	Bye for now, Terry Allen
