Ok I am using Pro-FTPD with MySQL authenication..

In my proftpd.conf file I have
Code:
# Set the user and group under which the server will run.
User                            nobody
Group                           nogroup


In the MySQL DB for FTP, the UID and GID are set to default to UID=5000 & GID=5000

I can log into the FTP server, but I cant upload any files...

The /var/www dir looks like this:
Code:
drwxr-xr-x  6 root root 4096 Aug 11 19:45 localhost


I have tried to set the users UID and GID to 1015 and 100 respectivly...

I tried to
Code:
chown nobody:nogroup /var/www

&
Code:
chmod 0775 /var/www


With no better result...

What do I need to do to get to upload files into the /var/www directories??

BTW I have been reading a ton but have not been able to find an answer to this porblem... Sorry if this has already been addressed...

TIA

Maybe this is rather in your proftpd configuration?

Don't you have something like

Code:
<Limit WRITE>
    DenyAll
  </Limit>


somewhere?

I know this may be late, but it could help someone one day..

By the way, I love your glider avatar :)
