can't change permissions for directory

niikhawod · 16. Juli 2014

Hi,

what i want to do is have a directory that is not on the storage file system but in "/home/xxxxxxxx" so i can execute files in this folder and it needs to be accessible via FTP

i already have made a new user named minecraft and a folder named minecraft in /home/.
i used this command.

Code

sudo useradd ftp_user -p your_password -d /home/ftp -s /bin/false
sudo passwd ftp_user

after that i have applied chmod -R 771 to the folder.

Code

chmod -R 771 minecraft/

and now i can connect to the ftp with the user minecraft but i cannot add or change any files.
i use fillezilla to connect to the server, and this is the error that i get when i try to eddit the something in the folder.

Code

PASV

Response:	550 test.sh: Toegang geweigerd

Your FTP server is not setup properly, especially where passive mode is concerned. Please follow the steps in this guide:

i have enabled the passive ports annd changed them as in the guid and it is still not working.
i can create a folder with the gui on the normal storage file system and that works fine.
but it goes wrong when i try to change something in a folder that is on the system disk that i had to make using the cli.

filezilla after the changes.

Give results of this command on your folder. Be one level above, so you can list, the folder when you run it:

stat minecraft

niikhawod · 16. Juli 2014

Code

root@openmediavault:/home# stat minecraft/
  File: ‘minecraft/’
  Size: 4096            Blocks: 8          IO Block: 4096   map

chown -R root:users minecraft

the minecraft user does not need to be owner because the folder is chmod 771. You can use this too if you want:

chown -R minecraft:users minecraft

still getting access denied when i try to create/upload a folder or file.

tekkb · 16. Juli 2014

I don't think you are loading the module for connection tracking with passive ftp. Look at the link I gave how to setup.

niikhawod · 16. Juli 2014

The ftp settings in the web interface.

content of /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf

Code

options nf_conntrack_ftp ports=21,14100,14101,14102,14103,14104,14105

content of /etc/modules

Code

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.
# Parameters can be specified after the module name.


loop
nf_conntrack_ftp

edit: typos.

Did you name the the folder module or modules? It should be:

/etc/modules

and this is supposed to be:

/etc/modprobe.d/options.conf

I don't know if you are being careless in post above or you were in the actual files.

niikhawod · 17. Juli 2014

i changed the correct files, those where mistakes in the post.

edit: i made a folder in the "/home/minecraft/" and it is not showing up, so i think the ftp isn't going to the directory that i want.

niikhawod · 18. Juli 2014

i can now access and upload files in the folder in /home/minecraft.

i changed defaultroot in the "proftpd.conf" from "/home/ftp" to "~" and now it works the way that i want it.

Jetzt mitmachen!
