Ftp Login

There is a ftp login problem.

The cuteftp show that:
*** CuteFTP 7.0 - build Jun 7 2005 ***

What is the problem in my server? How can I fix it?

Thank you.

It doesn't look like a login problem.

Are you actually trying to upload something to /pub/fedora/linux/core?

Is that a directory path from the linux / directory?

If so, then you probably have to be root for that to work. For security your system shouldn't allow FTP login as root.

Where can I change the directory path of the FTP?


Thank you .

On the server or in your cute ftp?

If you're the DA administrator you can change it in the ProFTPd configuration file in /etc but changing it will severely compromise your server.

And since you can't write to that directory anyway unless you're root (and root cannot login using ftp) it won't help.

If you mean you want to change it in cute ftp, you can't change it to something outside of the jail you end up in when you log in; that's a security issue.
