 | View Full Version : Weird FTP permission issue in cpanel ChrisN1313 07-22-2009, 07:15 PM 1 User is not able to upload or change on their ftp. Other users can. I know its something simple but cant find it. At least on my end. I logged into the ftp as that user and get a permission error if I try to upload a file.

Thanks agian UNIXy larwilliams 07-22-2009, 08:58 PM Cool. I don't know about you, but I've seen this happen on and off on cPanel servers. The latest problem is that the permissions get messed up and the backups don't include public_ftp because of it. |
