I presume you're talking about /home/htdocs/www.domainname1.com as a directory?
You would have to give write access to that user (or the users group) for that specific directory, I'm not sure how wu-ftpd works in that respect. It's more usual to have the FTP daemon logged in as one user (say ftp). I'm not sure about wu-ftpd, but Pure-ftpd allows you to setup FTP only users and chroot them to their home directories, this means you would only have to maintain one (FTP for example) user on your Linux box all the others would only be able to use ftp... If you post your ftpd config file, and the output from "ls -la" in the /home/htdocs directory, it would probably make things easier. > -----Original Message----- > From: Sergei Giritch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 11:08 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: ftp upload on htdocs apache directory > > > Hi Brenden! > I've seen some server structure like: > > /home/htdocs > www.domainname1.com > www.domainname2.com > www.domainname3.com > www.domainname4.com > > every one of four has his own ftp name and password > which is allowed them to access only their directory > > for ftp domainname1 www.domainname1.com becomes root > directory make changes, upload and delete directories and > files, create new directory, files, etc. > > how it could be done - i do not want to give them root privileges > > Regards, Sergei. > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Brenden Walker > Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 9:55 AM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: RE: ftp upload on htdocs apache directory > > > /usr/local/apache/htdocs permissions are not likely to allow > write access to anybody except root (unless you changed them). > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Sergei Giritch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 10:15 AM > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: ftp upload on htdocs apache directory > > > > > > Hello dear list! > > > > I have redhat7.2, apache1.3.23, php4.1.2, wu-ftpd-2.5.0 > > How can i make ftp guest user to be able to upload on > > htdocs apache directory? > > > > /usr/sbin/useradd theguest > > By default theguest user directory created under /home > > > > apache htdocs > > /usr/local/apache/htdocs > > > > I tried to change theguest directory in the /etc/passwd > > theguest:x:555:556::/usr/local/apache/htdocs/./:/bin/true > > > > when i login to the server using ftpeditor i endedup > > in the /htdocs apache directory, but i could not upload any > files, not > > even create new one.
