I have a dedicated server with no control panel. I have a main, root FTP account. But now I'd like to create an FTP account with access to just one folder.
For example, I want the FTP account to only be able to view and upload files only to "mysite.com/special/upload"
It would also be nice if the new FTP user could only modify/delete the files that he uploaded.
I have done the following guides below but I cant connect my ftp account. And i dont know my directory to public html
I would like to create an account for my staff but im quite novice of this and i dont know the directories name
Create a FTP user group. eg: ftpaccounts
#/usr/sbin/groupadd ftpaccounts
Add a new user to this group, and set the default path of that user to /home/user/.
#/usr/sbin/adduser -g ftpaccounts -d /home/user/ testuser
Set a password for the newley created user.
#passwd testuser
Set ownership of /home/user to the testuser and ftpaccounts.
#chown testuser:ftpaccounts /home/user
Give Read/Write access to testuser and all members in ftpaccounts
#chmod 775 /home/user
Edit /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf file and make sure 'local_enable=YES' is uncommented.
Restart the vsftpd service.
#/etc/init.d/vsftpd restart
This is what you get when you go to this one site on the server in your browser:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
This is a site in a reseller's account. The reseller had suspended it for non-payment. The account owner paid their fees, and the reseller unsuspended it. But now the site can't be reached.
I chowned and chmodded the account, but that didn't fix it.
Do i have to have full root access to create a SSL certificate, it seems if not i have to pay my the host $10 to have it setup for me!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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/
directory, which is fine.
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.
We are using WHMCS with Plesk 9.2 which was working all perfect but from last few days when ever we click on "CREATE" hosting account module in WHMCS it gives us the following message.
Module Command Error
CURL Error: 28 - Operation timed out after 100 seconds with 0 bytes received
we tried to contact WHMCS support and they says its related to Plesk and parallels say its related to WHMCS now i am stuck between these 2 companies!

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy Pink Floyd website has a photo section of rare concert pictures that our members upload. We have about 3,000 of these pictures, that our members upload via an FTP server that is hosted on a simple cPanel web hosting account. Someone logged into the account and not only deleted all the pictures, but uploaded obscene pictures and index.html files to some really nasty stuff.
We delete all the obscene stuff, but before we re-upload all the pictures I need to know...
On a cPanel account is there a way to have the FTP User only able to upload files and not edit/delete/change? Somehow we can edit their permission?

In plesk 11 all work OK , but now in version 12 , something go wrong.
I have an VPS Windows 2008 with Plesk 12 and Persits Software like (www.aspjpeg.com).
The Path of software is : C:Program FilesPersits SoftwareAspJpg
I set the permissions :
- Everybody (FullControl)
- Administrator (FullControl)
- Users (FullControl)
All go right, but the Plesk run micro update or check permission add this other account :
- psaadm (Deny All)
- psacln (Deny All)
And then persists Software not work in ASP files. If I delete this permission or change to Full Control all work again, but when have a new update all permission was reset and set again Deny All.
What happened? What can I do ?
[URL]
Al go right with that entry in (C:ParallelsPlesketcDiskSecurityDiskSecurity.xml)
Code:
<Entry AccounType="1" Account="Psacln" Path="C:Program FilesPersits Software" Comment="C:Program FilesPersits Software"
AceFlags="ThisFolderSubfoldersAndFiles" AccessMask="FullAccess" EntryFlags="0" />
But the last microupdate update the file xml and delete my custom line. The Plesk Teem or Support know how can I set a entry for ever?
Do you have to enter "www.url.com" or can you just put "url.com" as the domain that you're creating?
Reason I ask is because I always only put "url.com" but for some reason one of the sites I'm hosting can only be viewed when I point my browser to "url.com"... because when I point it to "www.url.com" I get "page does not exist."
It's strange because this only happens from my home computer, not my work computer which shows the site fine at either address.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to get FTP working on a FreeBSD 7.1 box running ProFTPd.
The service runs but the issue is that the users cannot write to their home dirs. The server returns a 550 error.
Previously ProFTPd ran as user and group of "www" but I changed it to "nobody", which did not change anything.
I'm sure the issue is that of the home dirs for the users being owned by the users themselves and the service account not having access to write in that directory.
I'm not sure what is best to do here. Do I lift permissions so everyone can write to the home dirs? or is there a better way?
Let me start off with saying: I haven't had any suspicious activity, nor do I think I was compromised.
I logged in as root, and was simply clicking around my dedicated server and came across a few folders with permissions at 777. ALL are above /public_html
Irregardless, is this safe? I recall reading a bunch of topics on here, that /tmp needs to be hardened. Isn't this also above /public_html?
For one example:
/var/tmp is chmod to 077
..inside is a bunch of sess_ files
Is this folder open to hacking?
just buy a vps, all fine, but can not move or delete file by ftp after file uploaded by ftp and unzip by ssh. support say i need to use chown to change user to ftp user. but there is not ftp user on ssh when chown /dirctory ftpuser
View 4 Replies View Relatedwhen I setup a server I don't really care about permissions, I do lot of nasty chmod 777 * and stuff to easily get away with permission issues, since I'm the only one with access anyway.
But for a server that may be used for webhosting, how do I go about setting permissions in home directories so that programs like apache/php can still read/write to the user's web data? I'm guessing I need to add the user apache to each user's group and chmod 770 but I'm not too sure how to go about that, or if that's even how I should do it.

I spent ages trying to get a crm system working on my server and it only worked without errors when I changed the anonymous user privileges to "change" instead of "read".
Now this is meant to be insecure right? But my question is.... what exactly can go wrong with this configuration? In what ways is it insecure?
Also... correct me if I'm wrong but do:
- Web server permissions: only affect what scripts can run locally etc... and
- User / file level permissions: Protect against anonomous access changes from the net?
I have installed openvpn on the machine but i am having issues. I had to create /dev/net/tun manually and get permission errors on the device. I installed the openvpn rpm from [url].
on service startup i get the following log
Jul 4 22:03:09 gizmo openvpn[9517]: Note: Cannot open TUN/TAP dev /dev/net/tun: Permission denied (errno=13)
Jul 4 22:03:09 gizmo openvpn[9517]: Note: Attempting fallback to kernel 2.2 TUN/TAP interface
Jul 4 22:03:09 gizmo openvpn[9517]: Cannot allocate TUN/TAP dev dynamically
Jul 4 22:03:09 gizmo openvpn[9517]: Exiting
i installed from an rpm package on my cent0s 4 virtual machine, i followed the tutorial here, but to summarise after installing:
yum install openvpn -y
#Now check that it works
service openvpn start
#service fails - reason permission error on /dev/net/tun
running ifconfig i do not get a TUN/TAP device listed, im guessing as i haave never used vps before but i presume if all was working well i would get an additional interface listed alongside vnet0?
i have asked my vps provider to check i have TUN access, however in the meantime i would like to check there is nothing fishy with my setup?
Running LAMP, CentOS and webmin.
I've created a user and group for FTPing to a new domain. Problem is that when using Filezilla I get 'critical transfer error' after uploading files.
I have no problem with doing uploads as root, so this would appear to be permission problems.
So my question is, what do I need to do with the ftp user / or group in order to give appropriate permissions to place files under the public_html directory? Either through SSH or via Webmin...
I have some folders and files which simply won't let me upload, rewrite, rename, change permissions etc. Any action I try to perform on them simply gives me an error such as
550 Could not change perms on /public_html/foldername: Operation not permitted
The current permissions seem fine (755) and cpanel's file manager isn't having any luck either.
