Yes, this is the way to debug what has been updloaded.
Also check the apache and proftpd logs about what
has been attempted by clients.

First: Make sure that you enable http and ftp service
via the webinterface. 

Secondly you can test this with other clients (like wget, lynx, ftp)
or so from GNU/Linux, too.
For http and ftp upload you need a simple shared secret
(almost no security!)  it might be freebusy.

http://freebusy:freebusy@192.168.101.202/freebusy/%NAME%.vfb

ftp://freebusy:freebusy@192.168.101.202/oluser.vfb

We have some code trying to read the outlook format mails,
but there is no write support and such a write support
is practically impossible to get stable.
