What does your personal preference of sftp over ftp have to do with the instructions provided above?

I’m running CentOS 6, and I tried your setsebool -P ssh_chroot_rw_homedirs on but it didn’t work.

Sorry for the multiple posts

Error code: 3
Error message from server: Permission denied
Request code: 11

I can go into the folder, but I can’t list anything, and when I try to upload a file I get Permission denied.
Error code: 3
Error message from server: Permission denied
Request code: 3

Hi Fred ,

I have used . DOT after jack in chown command because i want to make this user both File Owner and Group Owner of upload folder. I have choose upload folder because i want jack user to upload its files and directory on upload directory only.

[root@localhost jack]# chown jack. /home/jack upload/

1) All the commands above have absolute directory paths. This command make assumption that it’s in the directory /home.
2) There is a . DOT after jack ? Either a typo or means current directory. See 1.
3) Why upload/ is this just upload or /home/jack/upload ?

[root@localhost jack]# cd /home/jack ; chown jack $PWD /home/jack/upload

I usually see this error when I don’t have ‘root’ set as the owner & group and 755 for permissions of the user’s directory (‘Jack’ in the author’s example).

Hi ,

These steps are tested on CentOS 6.X and RHEL 6.X , i am not sure whether these steps will work on Ubuntu Linux.
