553: Permission denied on server (Overwrite)

[cadbilbao]

Hi!

I've got installed wu-ftpd on my RedHat 7.1.

I get "553: Permission denied on server (Overwrite)" error when trying user 'ftp' to upload a file to /var/ftp/foo

/etc/passwd
ftp:x:14:50:FTP User:/var/ftp:

/etc/ftpaccess:
upload /var/pub/foo * yes
overwrite /var/pub/foo * yes
chmod /var/pub/foo * yes
delete /var/pub/foo * yes
rename /var/pub/foo * yes

/var/ftp:
d--x--x--x 2 root root 1024 jul 10 12:36 bin
d--x--x--x 2 root root 1024 jul 10 12:34 etc
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 jul 10 12:34 lib
drwxr-sr-x 2 root ftp 1024 mon 21 16:37 pub
drwxr-xr-x 2 ftp root 1024 jul 13 13:23 foo

/var/ftp/foo:
-rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 0 jul 13 13:15 myfile.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 306 jul 13 12:57 data2.html

What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

Looks like you have root as the owner of '/var/ftp/foo'. Group permissions are set at r+x only.

You could 'chmod 775 /var/ftp/foo' which would set rwx permissions for the group or 'chown -R ftp.ftp /var/ftp/foo' which would set both owner and group to 'ftp' in /var/ftp/foo and, recursively below that subdirectory.

Regards

I don't thin so. I've change my configuration. Current is:

/etc/passwd
ftp:x:14:50:FTP User:/var/ftp:

/etc/ftpaccess:
upload /var/pub/foo * yes
overwrite /var/pub/foo * yes
chmod /var/pub/foo * yes
delete /var/pub/foo * yes
rename /var/pub/foo * yes

/var/ftp:
d--x--x--x 2 root root 1024 jul 10 12:36 bin
d--x--x--x 2 root root 1024 jul 10 12:34 etc
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 jul 10 12:34 lib
drwxr-sr-x 2 root ftp 1024 mon 21 16:37 pub
drwxrwxrwx 2 ftp ftp 1024 jul 13 13:23 foo

/var/ftp/foo:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 ftp ftp 0 jul 13 13:15 myfile.txt
-rwxrwxrwx 1 ftp ftp 306 jul 13 12:57 data2.html

I can not still upload.

Hmmm, I must be the /etc/ftpaccess file or a related file then. All I have in mine for the directives you quote is the following :





chmod no guest,anonymous

delete no anonymous

overwrite no anonymous

rename no anonymous



I don't have any 'upload' directives - I'm not using 'chroot' for anyone and I just rely on the native Linux security.


Using the above, I can quite happily ftp both ways including overwriting existing files. It just seems to be the same as the ordinary file permissions....
