The owner or group ID of vsftp must be writeable to that folder, doesn't have to be 666/777, but say vsftp user is vsftp and group is vsftp, just make the folder writeable to that group, chown :vsftp /home/ftp; chmod g+w /home/ftp Either UID or GID writable will work, but if the folder is owned by your user too, you may just want to make the folder that vsftp writeable to group. > > -- > Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk > Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire > LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk > -------------------------------------------------------------- -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
