WordPress /FTP

[skurudo]

I am having this same issue. Any FTP users created can copy files without issue but cannot create directories. Any idea why this would be? Everything is already owned by admin:admin so the above fix did not work for me. I'm on Ubuntu 14.04

Then your issue not the same.
What's about this error in vsftp logs? Can you show us?

Who have problem with update, you are must add define('FS_METHOD', 'direct'); in wp-config.php

Sry my English.

Got an easy fist. Mount public_html and code:

Code: Select all

chown admin -R *

or after you ssh to the server ( ssh root@(IPADDRESS))

Code: Select all

cd /home/admin/web/domain.tld/public_html/
chown admin -R *

Did this and new themes/plugs all downloaded and installed seamlessly. Did not require me to enter ftp credentials or anything.[/quote]


this did the job for me i was gonna go nuts, sadly i think will have to do this for all other users/sites.

So I have similar issue:

WordPress is set up and everything, but when I try to install theme, it asks for FTP credentials. I enter IP address, user name, and password. Goes to next page, downloads, but when tries to unzip, says that it cannot create directory, like stated above.

Is there a fix for this?

I had the same problem as OP, with my Wordpress install asking me for FTP credentials after installing VestaCP. I tried just about everything on the web but this is what worked for me. Registered just to say thanks!

cd /home/admin/web/domain.tld/public_html/
chown admin -R *
