Re: [cobalt-users] [Raq3] File permissions- rejected from admin - MORE

["Tim M. Muldoon" <muldoon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know if this applies to changing permissions also, but I can no
longer upload files by FTP using admin having passed the limit.

"Check to see if admin is a part of more than 32 groups. If admin is a part
of  more than 32 groups, there will be a permission denied message when
trying to upload with FTP. This is a limitation with the Linux OS."

If you search the Cobalt Knowledge Base for    error 550    you will find
this message, it also tells how to fix it.
