The FTP server never "talks" to the website/web server. They speak
completely different protocols and do not understand each other.

What they both share is access to the filesystem -- hence, if you point the
FTP server's vdir at the same files that the web server is serving, you can
use FTP to change the files that the web server serves (and achieve your
goal of "uploading site changes").

Thanks Jeff. I actually have had an FTP site up and running for several days
now, and have become familiar with its operation. I was not sure, though,
how
to get from that point, to being able to update files on a website. I guess
I
dont see how to get FTP to talk to the website.
