I wonder if anyone can help explain/fix a couple of odd things I have found?
Firstly everything works pretty great. No major hassles no worries - which is a revalation for a Linux install. (Most Linux installs take a lot more work).
Anyway the thing is there are only tow small snags I have enocountered. The first is that although I can FTP in to ProFTPd I don't appear to have any write access to anything on my linux drive.
Ideally I would like to perghaps set a /home/gentoox/shared directory and also perhaps share my /mnt/F/Music direcory over FTP and have these be fully writable.
How can I achieve this?

I had this error, what i did was this
Code: Select all
chmod a+rwx 'Location of directory/or file'
Re: ProFTPd Not Writable?
there is a rather nice guide on these forums to do this, basically create a user who's home is the location you want to share, and edit the proftpd.conf file to jail that user to their home dir. A much better explanation can be found via the search button.raid517 wrote:I wonder if anyone can help explain/fix a couple of odd things I have found?
