ubuntu lamp with proftp upload problems
Hello all.
Ive looked up and down but i cant seem to find an answer to my question. Why cant i upload to my ftp site. I am running a lamp server and i installed proftp. i created users and groups. i tested my server and its working fine. but now when im working on dreamweaver to connect to my ftp... It connects fine i can download my files from the site but when i edit them and try to "put" them back. i get an error:
index.html - error occurred - An FTP error occurred - cannot put index.html. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem. Make sure you have proper authorization on the server and the server is properly configured.
File activity incomplete. 1 file(s) or folder(s) were not completed.
Files with errors: 1
index.html
Finished: 1/26/2011 6:20 PM
i think everything was setup properly.
as for permissions problem ow can i change that.
also im using webmin. can i do this from webmin?
Is there supposed to be a port open on the firewall for uploads or does it use the standard 21 port
any and all help would be appreciated because everything went smooth until this.

Is your site in /var/www? Can you move it to home/www?

Thank you so much for trying o help gordintoronto but i figured out my problem. It was all about chown. once i did this to my directory it worked perfecly.
Apparently you need to do this to give that user rights or something to that effect. I'm still learning:
sudo chown -R username:group /var/www
that solved the problem and now i can upload.
Thank you to "bmathis" here on ubuntu forums for that post.
