View Full Version : ProFTPD: 'Upload not allowed' ?!

Sometimes when I try to upload or rename a file, or create a directory, proftp replies with: 'Operation not Permitted' or 'Permission Denied' or 'Upload not allowed'.

The weird part is that I can still delete the files/directories. It sometimes helps changing the uid for the user. Sometimes it helps to remove the whole directory, then I can recreate it and reupload everything.

Weird, anyone know what causes it?

how is your proftpd.conf looks like?

Proftpd is also a lot more fussy with permissions. Make sure you got things chmod right.

It's the standard install, I've also enabled root to be able to log into ftp but it has the same problem.

Don't do that. :) Never, ever log in as root to any machine for any reason.

Are quotas enabled? Perhaps the user that you are uploading as has reached its quota limit?

Not that I know of, I didn't set them, not even sure where to look for quotas.

As allera wrote, even before you solve this problem, disable
root access to your FTP, seriously.
