Permissions seem to be wrong


I am running Fedora 8 and have installed wordpress and vsftpd on what will be my server.

Both wordpress and vsftpd are giving me file permission errors when I try to upload from another computer. I would guess that the issues are related.

I used yum to install both vsftp and wordpress.

I changed the permissions of the /uploads directory for wordpress to 777 and the owner to apache (since that is what the webserver uses for an account.

I log in with vsftpd using FileZilla client with an account I have on the server. I can see ...but not write.


Thank you for any assistance you might offer.

FileZilla (and all other FTP clients) will use your login account as user. If the contents are owned by user 'apache', then you will not be able to write.

Wouldn't it be more reasonable to use user account ownership and adding 'apache' to the sudoers list or at least to the group of the user?
