Hi. I am hoping someone can give me a suggestion on how to correct a
problem we are having with our FTP server setup.
What I am trying unsuccessfully to do is to allow valid maintainers of ftp
directories the ability to create subdirectories. These "maintainers" do
not have shell access and are strictly allowed to access thier directories
via ftp. When anyone attempts to create a subdirectory they are greeted
with a "permission denied (MKDIR)" reply from ftpd. The ftpaccess file has
no specific lines dealing with this other than the "upload" section and
these users are not coming in as "anonymous". From what I can tell, ftpd is
intercepting the mkdir command so it has nothing to do with the actual
directory permissions (i.e. I can go a+rwx and it makes no difference).
Is there a config option that will allow this or am I going to have to
modify the source to get this work?
Hope you can help,
Ron
