Display MoreI am trying to upload some files via ftp
and it won't let me add any files that arent already there as in I can overwrite existing ones with new versions but I can't create any new ones.
Any ideas?
I have checked that the permission of the folder I am trying to upload to = 755
I installed proftpd if this makes a difference.
May be dont have free space what message have ?
You can create a new user or edit the existing user`s permissions with webmin.
Install Webmin >> Login to Webmin >> System >> Users and Groups >> Create a new user or edit existing user >> Choose Primary Group as FTP so you have full access to overwrite files.
ive installed and logged into webmin not sure where to go next though
ive got as far as this screen -
There is no group and the FTP account details arent there
FTP users are auto jailed (locked) in the home directory when they FTP into a linux server for security reasons, no one in their right mind would allow root access via FTP, port 21 should be blocked and SSH used in it's place, and not port 22 that should also be blocked and the port changed.
With that said, lets say you wanted to add oscam.user, oscam.server and oscam.conf to your system, you can simply ftp the files to your home dir /home/banny then login via putty and move to the home dir.
cd /home/banny
now move the files to lets say /usr/local/etc
cp oscam.user oscam.conf oscam.server /usr/local/etc
Thats it, new files have now been moved to that location
Simply delete the files from the home dir with
rm oscam.user oscam.server oscam.conf
Can simply do this with any files, maybe for some it's easier for people to ftp a file to there pc and edit it and put it back rather than using vi or nano
Just learn basic linux commands for moving, deleting, editing files etc etc
Why don't you just use SCP ? :)
With WinSCP you can do everything thru SSH (port 22) protocol, which is encrypted..
Also you can copy files from linux to linux with:
scp user@<hostname of remote server>:/root/file1.txt /root
- copies remote /root/file1.txt to local /root folder.
scp /root/file1.txt user@<hostname of remote server>:/root
- copies local /root/file1.txt to remote /root folder.
But... mayb you already knew this :)
Are you logged in correctly ?
if your using root instead of name used in Automated Debian Oscam CCcam 213 install ?
Winscp is better in terms of Root access -
