I am hosting some people on my web-server and everytime i try to create an account i get this.
Upload failed on 207.40.10.210 (/www/www.egirlzine.com/future.htm). (upload not allowed)

ok, well i tried the
/usr/local/sbin/proftpd and i thought everything worked fine, but when i tried to upload i still got that error, what am I doing wrong?

Does this happen for every account?

Are you sure the daemon is running?

When you start it up, check /var/log/messages for any errors. Also, you can try `ps aux` to see if it is a running process.

it is for every account that i create.

I think your daemon might not be running...

/usr/local/sbin/proftpd start

Are you connecting at all to the server? Do you have tcpwrappers enabled? Do you have permissions to upload where you are trying to upload to?

Do a tail -f /var/log/xferlog and keep an eye on the log while
you try to upload a file. That should give you a more detailed
error message.

Are you sure the directory you upload to have at least read
and write permissions for the owner? (chmod 600) If they
need to be readable for Apache you should do a chmod 711
on both the directory and the files.

well my admin is on vacation so i am doing this all by myself, for every account that he has created it has worked fine, i know i am doing everything fine, i just think i don't have the right command down or something.
