Permissions and FTP
 

I wonder if anyone can help,

I've set up an ftp server on my mandriva machine, i can upload files fine to to it when logged on as the owner of the directory, but when i try to log in as a different user, but in the same group i can browse files but it says access denied when i try to upload files.

Any ideas?

thanks Josh

i think you need to check the owner ship of the directory, it sounds like the group in question does not have write permisison....

I think they're right, i've got:

both users are in the group apache
Owner: can view and modify content
Group: can view and modify content
Others: can view content

ownership:
User: josh
Group: apache

yes, but is apache the group on the folder?

ls -l <yourfolder>

drwxrwxr-x 4 josh apache 4096

that looks right

which ftp server are you using please?

It's ProFTPD.

are you sure you're not over writing files you dont have write permission to?

nope, definitely not trying to overwrite.
