   THANKS Malcolm,   
   "sftpd" - In LEAP 15.6 "vsftpd" Nailed it!  I installed it. IN su   
   Dolphin "\usr\sbin\vsftpd" ran it (as downloaded) on the LEAP 15.6   
   Machine. In another room on the Tumbleweed Machine I fired up   
   "Filezilla" entered the host,user,PW,21 and WOW! there it was ->   
   directories available on both machines.  Ctrl-c  stops "vsftpd" when I   
   would be done "sharing" files between both machines.   
      
   So, for me: dump "pure-ftpd" and stick with "vsftpd"   
   I will look into the /etc config stuff for fine-tuning. Thanks Again!
