[solved] 550 Permission Denied on FTP Account

[ecorg911]

I see to have come across possibly a bug, but I created several new accounts the other day and all accounts were successful and the FTP works on them, apart from all FTP users on a single user account.

 

E.g. Froxlor User # 33

All FTP accounts are unable to write, recieive error: 550 Access Denied.

 

Since its affected multiple FTP accounts under a single user only, I can only assume its a directory permission error.

 

Would chown -R proftpd * suffice?

 

or do other permissions need to be set as well?

 

Thanks

No. The proftpd user has absolutely nothing to do with that. Check your permission in /var/customers/web. it should be owned by the customers username (e.g. web1:web1). therefore all the subaccounts can access it because they are in the same group as the customer.

Thanks for your help D00p, doing a

 

ls -l | awk '{print $3}'

 

Brought back that an SSH user (that I had later created) owned the subfolder in webs.
