Also when I ftp'd to my account I tried to mkdir .ssh but it said
Code:
550 Make directory operation failed.

Thanks for the help, but I seem to have hit a brick wall.
Well, there are so many variables.. I'd have to look in the server Smilie

Here's one thing you can try: do you know anyone who can log into the school's server using ssh? Ask that person to log into the server, then you can su to your account, and see if you can move around, create files and folders in your home directory, etc.

To enable the sftp-server subsystem for sshd add the following to /etc/ssh/sshd_config: Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server See sshd_config(4) for a description of the format and contents of that file. There is no relationship between the protocol used by sftp-server and the FTP protocol (RFC 959) provided by in.ftpd. EXIT STATUS
