    Hello!

    I have problem with pureftpd. I have uploaded about 400GB of files through ncftp client (i am migrating one server to another) and when I try to update file (for example index.php) or delete this file i get 553 error.

    Server is running Ubuntu server 10.10.

    Thanks

    It's a permission problem. When uploading files, what user did you use? When you try to delete files what user do you use? Remember that every site must belong to a specific client (Ex: client1, web1.... and so on)


    LE: Post the command "ln -s" from one site client.

    I used same user for upload and for delete. When I upload file with filezilla I can update it and delete too. But when I use ncftp I get 553 error.

    If one ftp client can edit / delete a file and another client cant do it, then it is not a problem of the ftp server. Compare the settings that you used in both clients.

    Same settings, but I don' have a clue why I can't delete files using filezilla (or something else) which were uploaded with ncftp.

    Please post the output of the command:

    ls -la

    from within the directory where you uploaded the file and specify which of the files was uploaded and cant be deleted now.

    Thank you very much till and Ghostdare. I had bad ownership to some files. I don't know why it happened but now it is okay when I changed it.

    I had "553 Can't open that file: No such file or directory." by uploading a dir with a space at the end:
    Code:
    "./dir-i-want-upload "
    after removing the space at the end, the upload was fine.

    PS: I post this here, because I found no solution but this thread.
