@routers: Thanks for the info. I will check soon, right now it is disabled in my linux box
@rewards: What did you do to make it work? In which directory you are trying to write files?
Thank you all. I can now download files and folders. But I cannot upload any file or folder yet. Do you know if I need to do something else?
if i not mistake, you mightbe attempting to upload file to the folder which is not own by you
because old default setting vsftpd , once you login its send you to the the main /
so follow this step, open /etc/vsftpd.conf and edit as following
Code:
chroot_local_user=YES
and restart vsftpd
Code:
/sbin/service vsftpd restart
let us know

Do you have any idea why I can download but not upload files using FTP. The chmod numeric for the /var/www/html must be 404 for the code to work correctly. I cannot change this 404 number to like 777. Thank you

did you pay attention with my word "you mightbe attempting to upload file to the folder which is not own by you"
The folder permission was set to root rwx r x r x. I changed the owner to adminftp and now I can upload and download files. Thank you guys for all your help.
