Not sure what you mean "it won't let you."

As root, use:
cd /var/ftp
chmod 777 incoming

If that doesn't work, let's take this off the list.  write me directly at 
jimkutsch@yahoo.com.

Hi jim, I don't know what FTP demon it is, I started it with the command
service vsftpd start. So I'm guessing it's VSFTPD (the very secure FTP
demon).

I have now set all the permissions on /usr/ftp to rx for all, and I have
created an incoming directory under that. I want to set that to 777 but
it won't let me. Any ideas why? I can't find anything in the config file
(/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf) or the man page (vsftpd.conf) that say about
that sort of thing.

Cheers,

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,
