ownership of file is not correct after ftp

[Santhosh.c]

FYI please,

dmocoi $ grep dfsdsftp /etc/passwd
dfsdsftp:*:2764:493:FID - ftp only:/imsfeeds1/ftp/home/dfsdsftp/./:/usr/bin/false
dmocoi $
dmocoi $ grep 2764 /etc/passwd
dfsdsftp:*:2764:493:FID - ftp only:/imsfeeds1/ftp/home/dfsdsftp/./:/usr/bin/false
dmocoi $
dmocoi $ ypcat passwd
ypcat: the NIS domain name hasn't been set on this machine
dmocoi $
dmocoi $
dmocoi $ grep bcmkftp /etc/passwd
bcmkftp:*:2525:493:FTP only FID:/imsfeeds1/ftp/home/bcmkftp/./:/usr/bin/false
dmocoi $

Thanks,

It would be nice to know if the problem is
with ftpd or the parent directory (or
something else). You might try giving that
user a real shell, and then trying that
"mkdir" interactively.

Any ACLs here?

[Santhosh.c]

There is no shell for this user. Here is the /etc/passwd entry
dfsdsftp:*:2764:493:FID - ftp only:/imsfeeds1/ftp/home/dfsdsftp/./:/usr/bin/false

You said: "There is no shell for this user..."


But what Steven suggested was: "You might try giving that user a real shell, and then trying that "mkdir" interactively."

It is working fine from shell.
Thanks,
