How do I ftp to /var/www on local area network only?

Hi,

I want to ftp to /var/www/ so I can upload my web development files to it.

I have already allowed http and ftp through the firewall using firewall-cmd. Also, ftpusers, user_list and vsftpd.conf are configured.

However, when I ftp from another computer box into the web server, I can't create or upload files. I've used my regular username and root.

I'm not concerned about security because all ftp uploads will be done from inside my network. No outside world access to ftp will be allowed. Only http for viewing my web pages when away from home.

Please help. I'm so close to accomplishing this that I can taste it.

Thanks.

What error message do you get when you try to upload / create files?
Which flavor of Linux you are using?
You said that you have already got files and firewall configured, what about selinux?

Installed vsftpd and configured it, then looked up how to open the firewall for http and ftp, which allowed me to browse to the default httpd page and ftp in. I didn't look into SELinux since I was able to already browse the default page and also connect via ftp.

I'm giving up on vsftpd. Going to remove it and work with samba. It'll be much better for the purpose of uploading files only while at home.

Thanks anyway, though.
