I have a Fedora 2 server running Apache 2.0 with FP 2002 extensions properly installed. I have uploaded my web using FP2002 fine with no problems at all and it works great.

Problem: when I try to connect to the web via FTP I am being shut out of
being able to transfer anything to the site. For example, trying to FTP cgi
scripts to the cgi-bin directory and it will not allow me to do so. Cannot
transfer any file to any of the other directories of the site via FTP either.

Does anyone know what this might be?

I have tried chmod ing the permissions for the cgi-bin to 755 and no dice. Anyway, it is not just the cgi-bin that is the problem as I cannot even ftp a text tile into the document root of the html directory where the home page resides.

Seems like some global parameter locking out the user account.

Appreciate the help!

at what point is the error generated? when you load the ftp client? when you log in? when you change directory? or when you try to upload something?

does it happen when uploading to different directories?

what is the *exact* error message you are receiving?

Actually fixed this a few days ago. It appears the frontpage installation process set the group to frntpage and the user to the user name associated with my unix account login.

The directories that were not touched by FP were left owned at the group and user level by "root" and of course we are not allowed to connect to the site via FTP as "root".

So when I changed the group and user for the cgi-bin I was able to upload scripts into this directory.
