What I did was download the openSSH pkg from pkgmaster and install it. I
don't think that there were any options to turn anything on or off when I
installed it, because it was just a package.

I was using wsFTP before I installed it. Now the server shuts down the
connection when I try to login.

I've been trying to find out how to grant shell access. There don't seem to
be any instructions for this that I've been able to find yet, I've just
started searching and I'll keep looking.

Isn't granting shell access pretty insecure? I don't know... That just
_sounds_ insecure ;-)
