FTP Account Permissions - No Rights
Hello, I own a dedicated server and have installed plesk on it. With the domain, plesk creates an FTP account to use for that domain. When you use that user/pass it only allows access to the
Code:/var/www/vhosts/mydomain/
Now the problem is that the account has very limited permissions. It didn't let me write to any of the folders unless I chmodded them to '777', and now doesn't let me overwrite any files unless I login as root and chmod the individual files to '777'. How can I set this accounts permissions to allow full writing, and reading for everything it has access to? I don't want everything to have full permissions for obvious reasons. Thanks

You can change the ownership of the folder /var/www/vhosts/mydomain recursively to the user ownership associated with the account.
This would also depend on how Plesk works. cPanel associates a user with an account and /home/user is user.user ownership.Twitter : http://twitter.com/eth1networks

Alright I got it working. I had to change the file owner. I thought the owner was already that other account but apparently not. I used this command
Code:chown -R username httpdocs/
Thanks
