What's in the log file?
I can't see your screenshot. If you use vsftpd, check /etc/vsftpd.conf for the log file name, and set the xferlog_enable parameter to "yes".

This folder doesn't have write permission for other. Is the user wordpress the owner, or does it belong to the group of the handover directory?

wordpress user is the owner of the handover directory. i didn't make any group until now.
wordpress(ftp user) is only a user for this directory.

my ftp user was other(not owner and not belong to group) and then i set write permission for other and suddenly this worked.

command:
1::: chmod 777 -R /var/www/html/handover(here write your folder name,where your programnme is saved,in my case this is "handover").(to set the permission for folder)
2::: ls -la /var/www/html/handover.(to see the permission of folder)


thanks to all,

To solve problems with services, you need to listen to what the services tell you. They usually communicate with you via a log file. If you use vsftpd to upload files to the handover directory, the name of the log file can be configured in /etc/vsftpd.conf. From the vsftpd.conf manual page:

Quote:
xferlog_enable
If enabled, a log file will be maintained detailling uploads and downloads. By default, this file will be placed at /var/log/vsftpd.log, but this location may be overridden using the configuration setting vsftpd_log_file.

You have me confused. I thought your ftp user was wordpress?
If the user name was other, it is no wonder that you could upload anything to the handover directory, since there were no write permissions. After the chmod command, other has write permissions and can upload.

I suggest you open a new thread, as the subject of this one is now grossly misleading. For now I don't know enough of LDAP to help you.
