/incoming is a directory, path: /srv/www/web4/ftp/incoming

I found out there seems to be no browswer access to the site outside my network either.

With an ftp client "anonymous" can log in and see the folders but have no upload rights, which I want them to have. ISPConfig clients by user/password seems to be working great.

I wanted you to replace /path/to/incoming.
What's the output of

ls -la /srv/www/web4/ftp/incoming

then?

After running

chown web4_latcarf:web4 /srv/www/web4/ftp/incoming

you should be able to upload.

There are no problems logging in as web4_latcarf (or any other user established in ISPConfig) and uploading to their assigned folders. At least within my network using an ftp client.

The real problem has been and still is that someone logging in as "anonymous" could not upload files. Then I found out the other day that you could not establish contact with my ftp site outside of my home network with a browser or an ftp client.

I did discover today that the directories for anonymous use did not have the correct permissions applied. Once I took care of that then I was able to upload files as anonymous from within my home network. I still don't know if anyone can access my site from the internet. I am waiting to hear from a friend if he was able to finally get to my ftp site with a browser or ftp client since I changed the permissions on the directories. Just in case you have a chance to check it's ftp://ftp.latcarfproductions.com and you should see 3 directories; Dummy1, Dummy2, and incoming. Sooner or later I will here from someone!

It's working (at least in active mode).

cool! thanks!!
Are you saying it is not working in passive though? Being a newb I looked up active and passive modes... actually found some helpful info, and a fix in HowToForge Archives (http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/arc...hp/t-801.html).

Will this fix work under the current versions and set up? I am behind a router with firewall (Belkin 802.11g part# F5D7230-4). I checked the router settings page and if there is a place to establich multiple ports for any service they sure hid it well!

No, it's not working in passive mode because of your firewall, but that's why there is an active and a passive mode: so you can select the one that works. No need to change anything.
