[GLLUG] Proftpd

[Melson, Paul]

That part of your config looks good to me.  Is there another
AllowOverwrite directive somewhere else in your proftpd.conf?  Maybe in
the <Directory /*> section?

Another thing that occurs to me is that when using proftpd with
'DefaultRoot ~' (or wherever) that the proftpd user, typically an
unprivileged user, has to have read & execute access to the directory in
question and all of its parent directories as well (this can often be a
problem if /home is chmod 711).  This typically manifests as a login
failure or 421 error, though, so that's probably not your problem.

Good luck!

Anyone have experience with proftpd?  I'm having a little trouble with
it.  Initially, I was able upload files.  Now, however, after login the
approved user is unable to overwrite, delete or stor files.  I have
established directory 
level permissions for the user.

<Directory thisOne>
   <Limit All>
      AllowUser gllug
      DenyAll
   </Limit>
   AllowOverwrite on
</Directory>

I have a global umask of 022.  I've checked file permissions... 

Any suggestions?


Thanks, 

Suzanne
