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?

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

Subject: Re: chmod 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.

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?
