I have linux redhat 7.1 Server with a proftp server on it . and I have a user named usr1 and home dirctory /home/usr1 for usr1. usr1 tried to ftp a directory say mydir to /home/usr1. But after usr1 login into the server. he wanted to access mydir, he got error message " Permission denied". The dictory mydir ower is usr1 and group is usr1 too. And what confuse more is that although he can not access mydir, he can delete it. the proftpd.conf is as following: # 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.
