ProFtpd works but

[brian]

I can't change any files in any way. I can't even upload. The ftp user that I am using has administrative rights. When I run Web-Ftp from ispconfig and try to chmod for example, I get chmod failed error. I get the same type of error when I try to change anything. Didn't have this issue with 2.2.0. Don't know what to make of it. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your help.

What's in /etc/proftpd.conf?

Here's the full proftpd.conf file.

# This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file (rename it to
# 'proftpd.conf' for actual use. It establishes a single server
# and a single anonymous login. It assumes that you have a user/group
# "nobody" and "ftp" for normal operation and anon.

DefaultRoot ~
IdentLookups off
UseReverseDNS off
ServerIdent on "FTP Server ready."
ServerName "ProFTPD Default Installation"
ServerType standalone
DefaultServer on

# Allow FTP resuming.
# Remember to set to off if you have an incoming ftp for upload.
AllowStoreRestart on

# Port 21 is the standard FTP port.
Port 21

# Umask 022 is a good standard umask to prevent new dirs and files
# from being group and world writable.
Umask 022

# To prevent DoS attacks, set the maximum number of child processes
# to 30. If you need to allow more than 30 concurrent connections
# at once, simply increase this value. Note that this ONLY works
# in standalone mode, in inetd mode you should use an inetd server
# that allows you to limit maximum number of processes per service
# (such as xinetd).
MaxInstances 30

# Set the user and group under which the server will run.
User nobody
Group nogroup

# To cause every FTP user to be "jailed" (chrooted) into their home
# directory, uncomment this line.

# Normally, we want files to be overwriteable.

PersistentPasswd off

# Default root can be used to put users in a chroot environment.
# As an example if you have a user foo and you want to put foo in /home/foo
# chroot environment you would do this:
#
# DefaultRoot /home/foo foo


Include /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf

I was looking for this section, and it's correct. Did you restart ProFTPd?

Yes several times.

which users are you using to login? which user is the owner?

[falko]

Are the files that you want to chmod owned by your FTP user? What are the permissions of these files? What's the exact error message you get?
