I read your post so I tried it again and it worked. I went back to the logs from last night and see that I spelled it wrong.

jason@Jason-PC:~$ sudo dpkg --confgiure -a
dpkg: unknown option --confgiure


I thought I was missing a step somewhere. Thanks for your reply I have been searching for a fix to something that was just my error!

Now if I could just change the directory to a different drive I would be happy. This is how I tried to do this, can you please tell me what i am missing?

jason@Jason-PC:~$ sudo mkdir /media/sdb1/ftp
[sudo] password for jason:
jason@Jason-PC:~$ sudo usermod -d /media/sdb1/ftp ftp
usermod: no changes
jason@Jason-PC:~$


Thanks for all your help!
