Hi All

Well I managed to get the virtual users working for pureftpd. However this has now nocked my main ftp user out (that I created via web control panel), so I recreated this user via command line (not web control panel).

gave it the directory of where my website files relay and used this command.

I did this chown after and restarted pure-ftpd
But I cannot see any file in their but can via ls -al via ssh root and can see the website via standard http.

I am thinking its a very simple chown permissions not letting me see files by other users. so just wondering how to set this right.

other users are restricted but Andy user should have same as root permissions.

would this code be right
?

"chown -R Andy /home/default/site.co.uk/user/htdocs" would change the ownership of the directory "htdocs" and all files and subdirectories within it to the user Andy. If you're logged in as Andy, however, and you do not own the files beforehand, you will not be able to change the ownership, so you will need to login as the user who owns the files or as root/sudo.
