Installed XAMPP for Linux earlier on Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop.

Can't copy and paste files into the htdocs directory, so I tried via FTP (FileZilla Client). Here's the log:

Code: Select all

Status:   Starting upload of /home/james/Desktop/hidden/hidden.php
Command:   CWD /hidden
Response:   250 CWD command successful
Command:   PWD
Response:   257 "/hidden" is the current directory
Command:   TYPE A
Response:   200 Type set to A
Command:   EPSV
Response:   229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||37682|)
Command:   STOR hidden.php
Response:   550 hidden.php: Permission denied
Error:   Critical error

I've removed the file and folder names and replaced them with hidden to hide the name of the software I'm using.

Which user have you used for the FTP connection?

I tried using the default user and password, then tried changing the username and password etc, still no luck.

I then installed via Synaptic gadmin-proftpd and the dependant packages for it, loaded it up, and couldn't locate the settings because it was in a different directory - is there any way to change where gadmin looks?

Thanks,

I tried using the default user and password,

Which user exactly?

is there any way to change where gadmin looks?

Soory. Don't know anything about "gadmin".

Default Username: nobody
Default Password: lampp

It logged in fine, but it just wouldn't do things.

I've just added my Ubuntu user to the 'nobody' group, but I won't be able to test at the moment. I have a feeling that that may solve it though.

Should be It logged in fine, but it just wouldn't do things.

- you can see the existing files in htdocs (or the xampp subdir)?
- have you changed any privileges for the directory "/opt/lampp/htdocs"?

If you can cwd to the dir "hidden", this dir must exists. How have you created this directory?

Code: Select all

Command:   STOR hidden.php
Response:   550 hidden.php: Permission denied

If you can't add a file to this dir, how are the privileges set for this directory?
