<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Once again I get bitten by an inherited system that was not documented. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">*We have a RH 7.3 FTP server using wu-ftpd (and current patches). When originally setup, a FTP Super user was created, along with the anonymous ftp user. The /home was on a separate disk from the o.s. that died - dead.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">*I can upload and download to the appropriate directory for anonymous. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">*When I try to transfer a file to the server as the superuser, I can transfer it to the pub/outgoing directory. Any directory under that (pub/outgoing/junk gets a permission denied on server message when a put is issued.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">*There was a /home/ftp/<ftp_superuser> directory before with links in it (we think). I have read faqs till I am blue in the face. I would reload, but, it also acts as our external dhcp server and I want to solve one problem at a time.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">* I have even tried a chmod 777 on the pub/outgoing/junk directory with no avail. /etc/ftpaccess was not changed. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks.</FONT>
