I use proftpd 1.3.1rc3 from the ports and I'm unable to chmod any files in the home directory when logged in as any user. The following is my proftpd.conf file, though I believe it's the proftpd's fault. Same error is found in pure-ftpd, even when chmod is allowed in both ftpd's conf files. AllowAll AllowForeignAddress on AllowRetrieveRestart on AllowStoreRestart on IdentLookups off DefaultRoot ~ I believe it's some permission problems with the users in freebsd itself and has nothing to do with the ftp server programs. The following is output from uname -a: FreeBSD solara.com.my 6.2-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p5 #3: Tue Jul 24 16:20:42 MYT 2007 root@solara.com.my:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SOLARA i386 I've been trying to find a solution for quite some time, and write to this group as a last resort. Please help. TIA. -- Regards, Dinesh Pandian,
