I think ~ftp/pub, ~ftp/pub/Linux also need public read permission.

I had the problem with Linux. If no public read permission, all files
owned by ftp.bin and 664. Put back the public read permission, owner
and permission are OK.

First, thanks to Yamming for his answers, sorry that I have to keep on 
with that thread but we need to get this running.. :(

> I think ~ftp/pub, ~ftp/pub/Linux also need public read permission.

Yes, the is what they are currently set to.
 
> owned by ftp.bin and 664. Put back the public read permission, owner

I tried this but it still would not work...

On the other side, things are running well on the Linux machine but that
machine has beta 5 and the Sun machine has beta 4. I don't know if this
could make a difference but I will try to install it anyway today.. :) I 
just hope it _is_ going to work better..

Vincent, STEP administration.
