Hi,

I have some users needing to create directories under the public_html folder. How do I allow this? I have the sftp commercial license installed.

I'm still having trouble with this. Can anyone help?

Not exactly clear what you need...
you need the user to create a new directory Outside of public_html ? Means in the site root ? like : if so, just make him an Additional FTP user from the WebUI and grant him access to /. He can then login from sftp/ftp to create any file/dir inside his site root.

Yes. That's where the user would like to create directories.

Do I just manually add the user permission from command line on the server?

simply do it from the Web under interface.

I had done that. But I am getting a 550 Create directory operation failed in FileZilla.

Create the directory yourself & chown to set permissions to it...

I've manually done that. But I am getting permission errors when the software runs. I am trying to install whmcs and follow their further security http://docs.whmcs.com/Further_Security_Steps

I have moved the attachments, downloads, templates_c out of public_html folder and into the created folders in the root.

/home/[user]/web/[domain.com]/

When running whmcs I get a error

/templates_c' must be writeable (CHMOD 777) before you can continue.

I have changed the permissions to the user:user 777, but still the same error.

Should I be putting the folders in a different location?
