Yes, it seems there is a bug. Thanks for pointing it. Please raise a bug about it in the bugtrack.

I think the problem is that the directory /home/httpd/html/webftp/tmp should bee owned by www.www and is owned by root.root

Try to change it and tell me if it is ok.

Thanks jpl for the Info

How do I change the Ownership (Group and Owner) and user rights of the Folder "tmp" to www.www

I have tried WinSCP but the Tabs to change the group and owner options are not available.

Sorry for the noob question 

[jpl]

You must log as root on the server via the console or with a ssh client and type the command :

chown www.www /home/httpd/html/webftp/tmp

That's what I'm Talking about Man.

Thanks jpl that did the Trick.

I have tried WinSCP but the Tabs to change the group and owner options are not available.

Use the SCP protocol in WinSCP not the sFTP protocol.

hmmm...   Upstream proxy error....

Thanks for all the Help guys including the tip on WinSCP

Do you know of a Windowz app that I can use to Backup File(s) to the phpWebFTP Server on a scheduled basis. I have tried some apps but it seems that there is a rights issue coping files. The apps can login to the phpWebFTP Server but cannot seem to copy any files.

Any help greatly appreciated

Good Day

I have installed phpwebftp, on 7.3, when accessing the FTP Folders via Filezilla or similiar FTP programme my default directory is

/home/e-smith/files/users/username/home/

as per the remote access settings etc...this is the way it should work

via webftp I access the following directory path using the same username and password

/home/e-smith/files/users/supportdsa/

So users think files have gone missing...then worst of all, I can browse all the way back to the

/home/e-smith/files/

directory...??

How do I prevent webftp from doing this??

Cheers

Try this:

Login as root, then enter:

chmod 740 /home/httpd/html/webftp/tmp

[CharlieBrady]

yum install http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/jpl/smecontribs/smeserver-phpwebftp/smeserver-phpwebftp-4.0-2.el4.eos.noarch.rpm

yum doesn't work that way. Try:

rpm -Uhv http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/jpl/smecontribs/smeserver-phpwebftp/smeserver-phpwebftp-4.0-2.el4.eos.noarch.rpm

What you require must be made via proftpd configuration on the SME server.

smeserver-phpwebftp is just a frontend to do REAL ftp.

I don't understand the point of it then - every user has access to a real local ftp client (and has the browser anyway). What does phpwebftp add?

[AaronW]

Try this:

Login as root, then enter:

chmod 740 /home/httpd/html/webftp/tmp

Yep, Seems to have fixed it. Thanks
