I am uploading the files for my website from my laptop. I get the error. HTML: chmod failed Is there a way to check chmod permissions in windows? the chmod is 755 on the folder I uploaded to the servers site. Why can I not change the RWX on any of the file or folders I uploaded ? I try and get the same message as when I uploaded the file. How can I change the permissions on some of these files. Thanks I went into the shell and I see what is wrong. I got the error when trying to upload the file in the ispconfig program. So I used a ftp program to upload the file. I must have been in root. Now the folder is owned by root. Do I change the owner to web1_admin like the rest of the files ? I'm trying to learn. I am. thanks P.S. what if you have to use a ftp program other than the one in ispconfig. Will it allow you to logon in to the server with the user name web1_admin with the password or do you upload the file and then change the owner and chmod on the file or folder ?
Is this right? I think I understand. The web1 is the mysql database, the admin is the group and the web1 at the end is all others. HTML: drwxrwxr-x 2 web1_admin web1 4096 Apr 30 20:32 error -rw-rw-r-- 1 web1_admin web1 1217 May 1 14:02 index.html drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Apr 30 23:51 personals drwxr-xr-x 2 web1_admin web1 4096 May 1 04:00 stats How do I chage these ?
No, you mix up different things. The ls command has nothing to do with databases! web1_admin is the username and web1 is the group of the files. I guess you want to chmod with your FTP client? Then you will have to allow chmod via FTP in your proftpd.conf file.
Just want to upload fiels to server I don't want to chrom with my ftp client.I am just trying to upload the files to the server. I go into web ftp and type c:/webfolders then change the to folder web. when I try to upload I get the message. HTML: chmod failed The only file that is uploaded is the webfolders and it is empty. I can not delete the file out of web. How can I get the files on the server so I can work with them ? Is there somthing I need to do to the file BEFORE I try and upload it to turn of whatever is causing this message and what is not allowing the subfiles not to upload? Thanks you for all your help everyone. P.S. I fixed the file issue. HTML: drwxrwxr-x 2 web1_admin web1 4096 Apr 30 20:32 error -rw-rw-r-- 1 web1_admin web1 1217 May 2 09:56 index.html drwxr-xr-x 13 web1_admin web1 4096 May 2 09:38 personals drwxr-xr-x 2 web1_admin web1 4096 May 1 04:00 stats
The error message says that the chmod command failed. WebFTP is a FTP client. Please activate chmod in your proftpd.conf file as I suggested and restart proftpd.
