July 18, 201114 yr I've been trying to get this to work for two days now without much success. It seems that i can log into the ftp using a windows based client but i cant write to the directory. Can someone take a look at the following and give me a hand, i'm really struggling This is the permissions bit for the appropriate folder:- drwxrwxrwx 4 root root 120 Jul 18 11:43 Camera/ and this is the proftpd.conf content:- #To really apply changes reload proftpd after modifications. AllowOverwrite on AuthAliasOnly on # Choose here the user alias you want !!!! UserAlias daniel userftp ServerName "danftp" ServerType standalone DeferWelcome on MultilineRFC2228 on DefaultServer on ShowSymlinks off TimeoutNoTransfer 600 TimeoutStalled 100 TimeoutIdle 2200 #DisplayChdir .message ListOptions "-l" RequireValidShell off TimeoutLogin 20 RootLogin off # It's better for debug to create log files ExtendedLog /var/log/ftp.log TransferLog /var/log/xferlog SystemLog /var/log/syslog.log #DenyFilter \*.*/ # I don't choose to use /etc/ftpusers file (set inside the users you want to ban, not useful for me) UseFtpUsers off # Allow to restart a download AllowStoreRestart on # Port 21 is the standard FTP port, so you may prefer to use another port for security reasons (choose here t he port you want) Port 21 # To prevent DoS attacks, set the maximum number of child processes # to 30.

July 18, 201114 yr Do you actually specify the username+password while connecting, or does windows use the defaults (which is anonymous access, which would likely not have the required permissions). Not sure where the logfiles for proftpd land, most likely in /var/log or in syslog, so dig those up and post them here if you can't find anything obvious yourself.
July 18, 201114 yr Author I can specify the username and password. I've had a look through the log files but there isnt anything obvious to me (not surprisingly). Do you see anything? Having had a look around the /mnt directory i've found several failed test attempts to write to the ftp, this must mean i've been close at some point? proftpd.txt syslog.txt

The folder already exists tho? So do i just want the client to just write its info to the location specified by the proftpd.conf?
July 18, 201114 yr 550 is Permission Denied in ftp-speak, so it does seem to be the direction to look in. I noticed you're using userftp in the config, with an alias defined for daniel. Perhaps something goes wrong in this area. Does either daniel or userftp exist in unraid?
July 18, 201114 yr Author Well daniel is me so it could well be used in unraid somewhere. To be honest i cant remember. I'll change this alias in the .conf and see how that goes. I just dont know what permissions I need to allow in the 'Camera' folder so that it can be written to by anybody?
July 19, 201114 yr In the ftp.log, it says you're changing to /BACKUPS/Camera. Have you tried going to /mnt/disk2/BACKUPS/Camera in the ftp client? I don't see anything that defines/changes what the root would be, so it may just require the full path.
