Topic: Cant chmod from cuteftp etc....

[Beno]

Any help would be good.
I am new to e-smith. I work a lot with perl scripts and the likes, and i need to add permissions easily. Usually i just set them through ftp programs such as cute ftp. I keep getting the
550 chmod not allowed on FILENAME

Any ideas??????

i have tried telnet, but i dont really know what i am doing in telnet?

Thanx

That is correct

You need to edit /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/proftpd.conf/05DisallowChmod

change
AllowChmod              false
to
AllowChmod              true

Thank You. Ill try that.

Just dont know how to edit stuff. (telnet???)

I am Linux Stupid!!!!

but am trying

[Beno]

I have since tried changing DiasallowChmod file, but still wont let me chmod

Ok, sorry

missed previous message

But here's a story...

Add a virtual bay (you know how, don't you)? and try again...
If it works, delete the bay

This is to make sure E-Smith will use the template for building a new proftpd.conf

you're a legend. Works fine........
