FTP Change Directory Permissions
 

Distro: Redhat 7.2
FTP Server: VSFTPD

When I try to login to my VSFTPD linux server, I get the error message:
"User xxxx : can't change directory to /var/www"

Any ideas what might be prompting this error?

Thanks.

i dont know what usere uses your ftp deamon but try
chown ftp:ftp /var/www
chmod +rwx /var/www

Thanks for your input, though I'm still recieving the same error message with those options. :(

ftp problem
 

hello


goto /var/www and write chmod 777


regards

Even with those new permissions, the FTP client still comes up with the same error. Could it be something to do with the permissions of the parent folders of /var/www?

I ended up using http instead of ftp, by having a perl script upload the file to the computer.
