Title: Cant chmod from cuteftp etc....
Post by: Beno on March 27, 2001, 11:41:44 AM

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

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
