FTP Viewing problems

[aland]

Hello! I'm a newbie to the group...
I'm running Apache 3.12 on our server, which is a Solaris box running UNIX. I was FTPing some files a week ago and halfway through the FTPing, my FTP program (WSFTP) dropped connection to the web server. When I logged back in, I couldn't see any of the files I just posted, though they are viewable through http. I can see about 80 percent of the other files on our web server via FTP, but not all of them. I tried using 2 other FTP programs on different computers (FTP through Word, and Fetch for Macintosh) and still couldn't see them. I even tried Telnet, which allowed me to see more files, but still not all of them. I tried an INIT 6 to restart the server and that didn't help either. Any idea how to fix this problem?

Thanks!

I can only imagine that there is a permissions problem. Of course if your web server is running as root and you telnet as root, you will be able to see the files. Check if all the files and directories you copied have read permissions for other

Actually, I tried logging in as root and I couldn't see them either via telnet or FTP. Still not sure what's happening here.
