 |
|
Hello,
I spended a lot of time while trying and reseaching how to set the rights in Linux. I need an user that is allowed to write/read/modify in other home folders. So I putted this user into a special group, called admin. I did | Code: | | chown user:admin /home/user |
and | Code: | | chmod 775 -R /home/user |
but when I connect through ftp as this user i cannot get into other /home I always get an error like this:
| Code: | Command: CWD /user1/
Response: 550 /user1/: No such file or directory |
well user1 is a link to /home/user1, it is placed in the /home of the User having more rights than "normal" users.
Do you have any idea where I did something wrong? because it isn't working.
I would be pleased if somebody could help me.
greetz,

| This is just a guess but maybe the ftp configuration is set to put you in a chroot jail. Basically you cannot get out of the home dir of the logged in user. It could be that. |
