Post Reply? Hi, I’m a newbie to Unix but learning a lot as I encounter problems. As I have somehow locked myself out of ftp by opening too many sessions (see 3 posts back), I have tried to get access through ftp using a different user without success. This is output from ls -h regarding two directories: drwxrwxr-x 3 me pg2150028 4096 2009-05-10 03:51 clients drwxrwxr-x 53 me pg2150028 4096 2009-06-05 09:40 properties I created a new user (lila555) through the webpanel which was automatically put in the group. Nevertheless, through ftp, lila555 cannot see the directory “clients” nor any of the directories in “properties” even though the rights are identical to the above listing. I’m assuming .htaccess has nothing to do with this as it solely affects a directory listing request from http. Any thoughts?
