Thanks for your attention but my requirement is at system level.  My 
script can create  a ftp user on the  fly  and assign the  typo3 space
under htdocs to be accessed by this newly created ftp user. I use vsftp
and I have designed the code to do this. but I don't know how to exploit
pureftp within shell-programming.  This script is for linux sysadmin;
this is like a "single command" typo3 hosting tool.  I might skip the
ftp creation totally as quick-explorer extension is there.

Thanks
