hi,

Most systems have (atleast should!) their superuser accounts locked down. From what I gather from your posting, is that you are looking for the ability to switch users (su/sudo) to the root user. This is not possible as there is no provision for this with ftp.

What I would suggest, is to place the files in a holding area and then a cron job moves the files to the correct location. Personally I would opt for use of scp for security reasons.
