[BlueOnyx:04947] Re: Secure FTP options with BX?

Really? Because that has been implemented in BlueOnyx since very early on.

Our ProFTP supports both "Auth SSL" and "Auth TLS", so you can securely 
connect to FTP. The only downside is that it uses a self signed SSL 
certificate, so you get the certificate warning every time you connect, but 
other than that it works just fine.

We didn't enable SFTP (which is another way of securely connecting to FTP), 
because that would really be pretty complicated in our given setup and would 
require quite a few architectural changes.

Did you try to re-configure your Samaba to use "force user" and/or "force 
group"? With that you can force it to write created files to a certain UID or 
GID as specified in smb.conf.
