    Hello!

    I am running ProFTPd on Ubuntu 5.04 Server....

    When users log into their FTP directory they cannot delete any of their files... I thought perhaps this was a permissions problems but even CHMODDING them to 777 they cannot delete them.

    Here's a log where I uploaded a file and then tried to delete it...

    That looks ok. Can you also post the output of
    Code:
    ls -la /var
    and
    Code:
    ls -la /var/www
    ?

    Hm, looks ok. What's in /etc/proftpd.conf?
