I don't know if there is better way, but I already login as normal user and 'su' to have root access. Hope this solve your problem for the moment.
I think this solution of yours (apart from being working of course), is not that secure since the su-process is executed after a login (telnet? rlogin?) which passes all key-strokes as clear-text over the network. If you would use ssh, communication would be encrypted(*) Furthermore I think the original question was about ftp-login. I presume icepic <icepic1984@gmx.de> wanted indeed to ftp-login and not login-login :) to that ftp-server running machine. (*) Indeed I also read on LinuxToday that there has been a package distributed that can (under certain conditions!) snoop and forward ssh (and/or ssl) connections - -- Groetjes vanwege...
