hhmmm... good question! my limited experience with Linux tells me you are probably referring to using or applying the chmod command. I will start looking at this, am I on the right trail? I also noticed the config file defines a chroot Code: # Limit WRITE everywhere in the anonymous chroot <Limit WRITE SITE_CHMOD> DenyAll </Limit> I pieced this config file together from 2 others available on line. Is this the same type of chroot we did for named/DNS in the Perfect set up for FC4 HowTo? There may be some directory work I need to accomplish that I missed due to lack of experience/knowledge.
I used this command and got it to work after I changed it to Code: #chown ftp:ftp /var/ftp/plant I restarted the ftp server then tried to uplaod a file from my Windows box using WS_FTP and I am still getting Permision Denied. I will have to go through the config file again and try to see what I am missing or not doing correctly. My directory structure for ftp is under /var/ftp then I have /crop wich is where they should download files and /plant where they should be able to upload files. When logging into my ftp site it shows the directory's under /crop. I am already thinking I need to change the login directory so that /crop and /plant both show but that shouldn't effect uploading should it? Any help would be appreciated though! gotta go to work , thanks for the help
Does it change anything when you change Code: <Limit READ> DenyAll </Limit> to Code: <Limit READ> AllowAll </Limit> ?
That didn't work but that made me look at other sections similar. Right above the section you quoted is... Code: # Limit WRITE everywhere in the anonymous chroot <Limit WRITE SITE_CHMOD> DenyAll </Limit> I changed this to AllowAll and it worked! I double checked and it won't let me transfer to anywhere but the /plant directory which is as it should be. Now... The files transferred (according to WS_FTP) but I couldnt see then on the FTP side of WS_FTP. So I switched my screen over to the ftp box and checked filesystem and sure enough they are there! I will have to check and see if the asterick I am using in /plant/* is causing this. There are also several folders under /plant that are not showing when I log in with WS_FTP. Same folders under /harvest (previously /crop in the conf above) are under /plant. Thanks for the help! I see you are back from holiday, hope it was good! Did you go anywhere?
Maybe because of Code: <Limit READ> DenyAll </Limit> ? Yes, it was great! I went to Croatia, to the Mediterranean, and enjoyed the sun!
That was one of the changes I tried already, also changing the variations of /plant with and without the /* following it. No dice so far. Never been to Croatia myself but I have heard they have some great beaches.
I finally it figured out! When I created the directories under /plant I didn't modify the permissions and they were all under root. I would like to make it so Anonymous users have to log in using their email address as their password. I thought I saw something on this once but can't seem to find it again. Anyone know how to make this happen?
FTP Log file I was checking my log file and noticed the date is off.. it shows everything a day ahead e.g. today is posted as 27/Sept/2005 which it is in Germany but it is the 26th here. Can I change this? Also if there is an access and it ends in ""MKD 050926141331p" 550 -" doesn't this mean someone tried to make a directory at my FTP site? That makes me wonder if that is why I see some weird file names instead of the directories I am supposed to see. This only happens when I log in with WS_FTP. If I go to the site with a browser I see what I am supposed to see. confused again!
