I know he can create the file because when FTP is completed the file (ar.conf) it is there but with 0 bytes of size.
Okay I rephrase that. Can the user create a file with some data in it?
The disc partition might be nearly full in which case ordinary users would be stopped from writing to the disc partition but "root" would not be stopped until the disc is full.
We're looking to eliminate the file transfer itself if possible.
The user might have a quota set.
The kernel maximum for the number of files open by a user might be too low.
SCP might not be set up correctly for the user.
Ps. Please stop using the term FTP. It is so confusing because "FTP" stands for File Transfer Protocol as used by the "ftp" command in unix or Windows or whatever platform. It has no connection whatsover to WinSCP .
