Write into samba shared dirs via FTP

Hi,

I need sometimes to backup some litle files via internet , so I use
vsftpd on my Nslu2 and with it, I can write into my home dir.

But I would write these files into a samba shared dir and so give access
to them for PC under windows.

After a very long reflexion, I choose a very simple solution:

I create a sub dir in my home dir: '/home/toto/newdir' and with samba I
mount the shared dir 'shareddir' on this new dir with :

'smbmount //localhost/shareddir /home/toto/newdir'

The 'newdir' now show the contents of the 'shareddir' and this with
write permissions

Vsftpd does'nt see anything... and now peoples at home can use
immediatly the files I have backuped.
Bye
