Proftpd basics

I have Proftpd setup on my server in a default configuration for anonymous access. I want to scrap all that and have single user FTP access for uploading files to an apache website. I know this doesn't sound hard, but I've been reading http://proftpd.linux.co.uk/localsite/Userguide/linked/userguide.html and haven't found a practicle examples that didn't use <Anonymous> or <VirtualHost>. Can someone post a simple example?

Ok, this site cleared it up for me http://www.freebsddiary.org/proftpd.php.

The <anonymous> tags made think they were only used for anonymous access, or at least I have a different idea of what anonymous access means to ProFTPD.

But after testing with user ftp, it was all working fine. But when I created my own user and changed the config file to reflect the new user I get an error in my log saying

:
Code:
:No such user 'engweb'...

: USER engweb: no such user found from...


My engweb is in the ftp group and my config file looks like...
Code:
<Anonymous ~ftp>
  User engweb
  Group engweb

  Maxclients 10
  RequireValidShell off
  <Limit WRITE>
    DenyAll
  </Limit>

.
.
.  

</Anonymous>


I created a group 'engweb' but I don't really know for what purpose. I tried group ftp but it made no difference.
