permission question

[Andy_9]

Hello,

I am trying to ftp some files from one system to another and I am getting a permission denied message. The file has 755 permission and I am the owner of the file. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The file is of root:sys and you is anonymous:anonymous?

Hi Andy,

You need to check the permissions of the destination directory on the remote end.
You will need write permission in it and at least search permission for the directory path down to it.
Obviously, you must look at this from the perspective of the user you are ftp'ed in as.

Regards, Clay

This doesn't seem to work. I have changed the owner to myself - Andy. The group is still sys. The file permission is 644. Thanks for any help.

Hi Andy,

Make the following test :
- Keeps in your mind the old permissios of the destination directory.
- Change the permissions of the destination directory to 777 ( chmod 777 . - in the destination directory.
After this , try tranfers files. OK.
Later, return for the original permissions.

I hope help you.

Regards,

Abel Berger

Hi Andy:

'ftp' returns error numbers and text. What number (should be a 3-digit one) are you getting if you do the transfer interactively?

Please try the ff: it worked for me.


# chmod -R 755 testdir
# ftp server
ftp> pwd
257 "/home/fhalili/testdir" is current directory.
ftp> lcd /tmp
Local directory now /tmp
ftp> get top1.txt
200 PORT command successful.
