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!
