Setting up FTP access to my Tomcat Dir
Hi Guys,

Im trying to set up FTP to my Apache Tomcat dir on my server so my web designer can FTP in and look at things in a live environment.


However at first I couldn't write to the dir, so i change some permissions, and now I cant access it at all!

Here is my LS -all output:

Code:
harold:/var/lib/tomcat5/webapps# ls -all
total 1068
drwsr-xr-x  9 tomcat5 root           4096 2007-07-20 19:38 .
drwxr-xr-x  6 root    root           4096 2007-07-04 20:39 ..
drwxr-xr-x  4 root    root           4096 2007-07-04 20:42 balancer
drwxr-xr-x 22 root    root           4096 2007-07-04 20:42 jsp-examples
drwxr-xr-x  3 root    root           4096 2007-07-04 20:42 ROOT
drwxr-xr-x  5 root    root           4096 2007-07-04 20:42 servlets-examples
drwxr-xr-x 10 root    root           4096 2007-07-04 20:42 tomcat-docs
drwxrwxr-- 10 tomcat5 tomcatusers    4096 2007-07-23 09:36 uPhoto
-rw-r--r--  1 tomcat5 nogroup     1051767 2007-07-20 19:38 uPhoto.war
drwxr-xr-x  3 root    root           4096 2007-07-04 20:42 webdav

Are my permissions correct?

Code:
drwsr-xr-x  9 tomcat5 root           4096 2007-07-20 19:38 .

Why did you turn on the setuid bit for a directory? Do a "chmod 755 ." in that directory to turn it off and see if that helps.

nothing I am afraid...

I set the sticky as I want all files in that dir to be the same user, so when uploaded they are still owned by Tomcat - I read this somewhere... probly way off..

New ls

Code:
harold:/var/lib/tomcat5/webapps/uPhoto# ls -all

Your new ls is of a different directory. Smilie

The setuid bit is different than the sticky bit and neither bit will have the effect you want with any os that I am familiar with. (But the setgid bit does have a similiar effect on groups with many os's.) But I could have missed something. What os are you using?

Your new ls is of a child directory of the original directory. And I can see that the setuid bit continues to be set in the original directory.

Code:
drwsr-xr-x  9 tomcat5 root        4096 2007-07-20 19:38 ..

I think I found the prob - I tried to CHMOD 777 the dir and it worked fine, so now that leaves me with a new problem...

My groups all look fine.

i have a user WebDes:TomcatUsers
and tomcat5:TomcatUsers

all the files should be ChMod 775 so then readable by all usrs in TomcatUsers (tomcat/WebDes)

Is there something I should be looking at in my FTP conf?

Im using Debian (etch) and VsFTPd by the way!
