What happens if you change the following /etc/proftpd.conf lines?

    #User               SYSTEM
    #Group              Administrators

to:

    User               <insert your user name here>
    Group              <insert your group name here>

Note that I don't have access to 9x/Me, so someone who does is going to
have to debug this if the above doesn't work.
