chmod

[Jim Kutsch]

Chris,
the 'x' must be present for any directory access.  Since you say only local 
users can access ftp and you want them all to read and write, why not just 
use 777?  You still may need to configure your ftp's config.  What ftp are 
you running?

Hi Jim, I want anyone to be able to access the files. Only local users
can log into the FTP site though.

Would I set the chown to root? I tried chmod -R go=rw /ftp aswell, but
now I can't open the banner file (/ftp/.banner).

Cheers,

Create a directory under ftp called "incoming" or something like that.
Then
chmod it to 311 (d-wx--x--x).  Chown it to ftp.  This allows anyone to
place
things there and no one but local root to access or ls the items.

This works with vsftpd on FC4.  You might have to edit the .conf for
your
ftp daemon as well.

Hi,

I am trying to allow any users to put files on my ftp directory. The
directory is located at "/ftp". I have tried so many different versions
of chmod it is unreal and can't get the bugger to work. I need to allow
everyone to write stuff there.



Can anyone help me please?



Cheers,
