I am trying to make an FTP account for a user, and it is not working. The user wants to be able to ftp to his sites home directory, and change stuff. I created a user(MEvans) and set the home directory to /var/www/html/domain.co.uk . In terminal, I type ftp localhost
, then the users name, then password, and it says 230 Login successful.
I then try the ls
command, and it says
227 Entering Passive Mode (127,0,0,1,169,60)
150 Here comes the directory listing.
226 Transfer done (but failed to open directory).
What is wrong? The ownership of the domain.co.uk folder is MEvans, and the permissions for the folder and its contents are (temporarily, this site is not live) set to 777.
