Re: [cobalt-users] No FTP permissions, oh yes there is!!!



WJ,

Hi, I have 4 site admins on a virtual site, strange thing is only 1 person
can upload to the website. The others are denied permission. They all have
the same accounts apart from the username and password details.

Yes. This is probably because person #1 is the one who originally uploaded the files. Hence, they are now "owned" by him/her.

One way around this is to chown all the files to "nobody".

Another thing that works for us is to delete the file that we want to overwrite and/or rename it (i.e. index.htm >> indexbak.htm) For some strange reason multiple site admins appear able to delete and rename another site admin's files...just not overwrite them.
