Penny finally dropped thanks to several replies :-)

I had created "ftpuser" rather than "ftpsecure" and as a result it 
prevented vsftpd from correctly gaoling any users.   Now it works as 
advertised.   Both from a Win ftp.exe client as well as from FireFox.

When using psftp.exe however the "ftp" process is bypassing vsftpd and (as 
I think Richard pointed out) using ssh.

So there remains significant appeal in plash and it lingers on the to-do list.

Thanks to all who replied,
