ftp problem
 

Hi!

I use CentOS 5.4, my ftp server is "vsftpd".
I installed CentOS 5.4 . Create one user "myftp" and started ftp server. Then I was connecting succesfuly to ftp server from a windows machine with Total Commander. My problem:

When I want to copy some file from windows machine to linux through ftp Total Commander gives me the following error:


Why can't I use ftp?

Thanks!

This certainly appears to be a permission/ownership problem for the FTP user directory.

Assuming you created the user using useradd and did not modify the home directory of the user to anything apart from /home/user, can you provide us with the current permissions and ownership of the directory ?

where ftpuser is the username of the FTP user.

I just finished fighting this exact issue. In addition to double-checking the directory and file permissions, make sure you've covered the basics - there should be a line in your /etc/vsftpd.conf file that reads 'write_enable=YES'

Don't forget to restart the ftp server to get any changes to take effect ('/etc/init.d/vsftpd reload' on my ubuntu box).

Good luck!
