Obviously, you need to use the same credentials as
are spelled out within the BackupPC host configuration. I've *never*
used FTP as a XferMethod for BackupPC, so I'm not exactly sure how it's
configured. But you need to make sure they both work.

Run WRKFLR. You will see all of the shared folders.
You can then do things like 14 (Authority) and 5 (work with documents)
to work with the permissions on each folder and file to make sure the permissions
are correct.

I think this is the better way to go. To my
knowledge, very few people use FTP with BacukpPC, and a number of people
use SMB. The tools are better understood and better tested.
You still may have System i issues to work out (such
as permissions), but at least there are more than just me that can help
with the BackupPC side! :)
