Ah...  So your main concern is the quantity of file areas.  I understand. 
I see you are still using the older style of using file area numbers and
not the optional naming convention introduced in Maximus version 3.  If you
are familiar with PEARL or AWK, you may want to generate your filearea.ctl
file using a pearl or awk script based from a directory (ls -ald) of the
directories of interest.

 GKA> I can put in a file area as my ftp server using for new files ....

 GKA> A path for oldfiles is /home/ftp/pub/fido/nodelist/
 GKA> and the ftp is ftp://gen2ghz.kofobbs.net/pub/fido/nodelist/

Sounds reasonable....
