FTP User/Owner can't MKD - FIXED

[uksitehost]

I have an issue with users not being able to add a directory via FTP to their public_html directory. They can add files no issues. Obviously, as this is the first time I have tried vestaCP and first time I have used Ubuntu Server I have had set up issues. This would appear the only one I can't find a solution for. Otherwise all is working fantastically, I have replaced vsftpd with proftpd. as originally FTP wouldn't work at all.

vesta core package Version: 0.9.8 (amd64) & Ubuntu 14.04 (x86_64).

If I can get this issue resolved I am definitely going live with this setup!

[uksitehost]

can anybody help?

I can confirm I have the same issue. It is pretty much out of the box setup with proftpd.

I don't know if this changes anything but my server is not a VPS, it's my own hardware in my own house.

Ok, its fixed. it would appear there is an issue with the vestacp proftpd.conf that you overwrite the default proftpd.conf with.

I renamed the file from vestacp

Code: Select all

mv /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf /etc/proftpd/backupproftpd.conf

The I found an easy way of putting a working default back in.

Code: Select all

wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/samurailink3/5388226/raw/e138f7a918a5f8936daf8238e975e28dfddb9745/proftpd.conf -O /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf

then

Code: Select all

service proftpd restart

For some reason you still have to restart proftpd in the services on CP - that also happened previously!

then

Code: Select all

vi /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf

edit the line ServerName "Debian" - change Debian to yourhostname

and ensure default root is uncommented (remove # if its there)

Code: Select all

# Use this to jail all users in their homes 
DefaultRoot			~

Done
