I found the problem - it is the UserDB which doesn't seem to support FTP.
On the other hand, I log in to the site root as 'manager', a user having
the Manager role, defined in the root User folder. The UserDB in the subdir
doesn't have a 'manager' user. Isn't authentication supposed to acquire from
the parent then??
