Topic: Can you use chmod over FTP for a normal user..?

[Leigh Gardiner]

I have created a user and given him ownership of a folder. He uploads cgi scripts to it but cant chmod them to 755 (executable)...is there some way to give him access to chmod stuff?

[Chris Parker]

You can.

It is located in the proftp.conf file. You will need to copy the existing template (/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/proftpd.conf/) to templates-custom and then you can modify the chmod command by editing

/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/proftpd.conf/05DisallowChmod


Hope this helps
