Hi Tres,

I just granted the "Add Folders" permission to the 'Owner' role, 
but it didn't work. I still got the **FTP** message '530 Unauthorized,'
and can't create a Portal Folder in my home, by FTP. 

In CMFCore/PortalFolder.py, the method 'manage_addFolder' is called by 
the method 'MKCOL_handler'. It seems that the later method, 'MKCOL_handler',
is the magic hook to 'WebDAV MKCOL', but what's the corresponding to 'FTP mkdir'?
