FTP Can't create folder
Hi Guys,
I'm setting up an Ubuntu 11.04 server through terminal and have setup the FTP and a LAMP Stack with Wordpress. I can login to ftp with a user I created with the home folder or WWW. All good but I can't create folders, th error I get is 550 on FTP clients. The vsftpd.conf file is all fine, Anon users prohibited and write enabled, I don't think the problem is there. I read about using setenforce 0 but that doesn't seem to work on my installation as the system doesn't seem to have setenforce. that if it was really the solution. I'm new to this I have to say, I was hoping I get an answer on this forum. Thanks |
Hi, and welcome here.
Let's make your first question a success story! Okay, can the user log in locally? If so (of course) can (s)he make folders locally? Can these folders (on the same place) be made as well? Are you (the user) trying to make folders OUTSIDE your home folder? Every iser has a home folder, make that the first point of impact when a user logs in... Maybe you're giving the user access to an other folder - I read Quote:

Thanks in a advance,
I'm actually managing a remote server, so not sure if "locally" is applciable here. I can access ftp through Cyberduck and through wordpress itself, the user seems to work but can't create folders. When I login, I get a listing of all folders under /var and one of them is www. so, I guess I was wrong on that one. So, After installing ftp, I only created one user with that home folder. Does that help? |

VSFTPD, good choice. I've got the same one here, we could compare notes...
Okay...so, you get in remotely...could you perhaps try with midnight Commander as well? It has a list structure and should show you where in the file system you are at the moment of login. Maybe you just "land" in the wrong place... |
