<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone got FTP working so that an
external party can FTP to /var/www ?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve been trying for ages. I’m easily on my
50<sup>th</sup> link from google searches and I’ve tried
ProFTPd and some others but just cant get it working. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m currently running ProFTPd (using the
GADMIN GUI). I gave up trying to create a dedicated user for
this party and just used the logon details of the main account
on the server. In ProFTPd I’ve assigned them permissions for
the /var/www directory, but that doesn’t work. They just get a
permission denied when changing folders in their FTP client. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
So I used chown and chgrp to give that account permission to
the /var/www directory but that hasn’t worked. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">SCP isn’t an option, though I haven’t had
much more joy with getting WinSCP working either, though I’m
told that’s a limitation on WinSCP rather than SCP as a whole.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
Could someone spare 5 mins to give me some advice on how this
should be set up ?<o:p></o:p></p>
