Hi all. I am currently using proftpd-1.2.6rc2. I am having problems when
attempting to designate incoming as an upload directory. Even when I chmod
777 /home/ftp/incoming and chown -R ftp /home/ftp, I still get a
permission denied message when trying to upload anything. This even occurs
when I try writing to my own home directory (/home/igueths). In the past,
this used to work when I had anonymous access enabled. However, when I
comment out all the anonymous directives in proftpd.conf, this method no
longer works. Could upgrading to proftpd 1.41 fix this problem? Note
however that I can download from any directory under /home/ftp just fine.
Anyone have any ideas on this one? Thanks!
May you code in the power of the source,
may the kernel, libraries, and utilities be with you,
throughout all distributions until the end of the epoch.

Hi Igor, have you checked your current valid chroot within proftpd? If
it is set to a directory lower than incoming you definitely won't get
anywhere!

There are actually no chroot directives in proftpd.conf, none that I could
find anyway. Are there any chroot directives that I don't know about that
can be set in proftpd.conf? Bc the way I want to have it and the way I
have it is have permissions controled by the system. For example, have
system users be able to log into their homedirs and be able to write to
them. This is the way I had it, until I tried disabling anonymous logins.

Hi all. I have noticed that only certain machines can access my
protected ftp server. My machine can't connect to lava-net.com, I get a
"connection refused message." This also happens when I connect from a
Linux machine on charter.com. The only other machine that has been able
to connect successfully besides localhost here, is another Linux box on
astound.net. My server is currently running in standalone mode, so no
hosts.allow/hosts.deny to speak of. Does proftpd maintain some sort of
internal database of banned IP addresses? Anyone have any ideas as to
why this might suddenly start happening? Thanks!
