Disaster.
I changed htdocs to ftpadmin:ftpadmin. I can now ftp perfectly. Alas, I can now see none of my pages via http.
The group owner can still be www, as usual. But you also need to make sure that 'others' can read the files, so the directory's permission has to be 755 minimum, and the files 644.
Who owns what? Can't Apache serve from whoever owns htdocs?
Depends on the permission bits, the Apache process owner (wwwrun) has to be able to read the files and, in case of e.g. PHP, to execute.
Hi Getting nowhere. I created a user ftpadmin and a group ftpadmin. I made ftpadmin's home folder /srv/www/htdocs everything under /htdocs is owned by ftpadmin:ftpadmin I can now ftp remotely to the /htdocs folder. No problem Having made these changes I can no longer see any web pages. What do I need to do to be able to both ftp and see webpages? Who has to own what?
