Oh snap, I think I did it... Is this where I want to be to begin setting my network folder permissions?


220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [TLS] ----------
220-You are user number 1 of 2 allowed.
220-Local time is now 17:16. Server port: xxxx.
220-This server supports FXP transfers
220 You will be disconnected after 2 minutes of inactivity.



If I have managed to get into this Telnet server... Can someone please define for me what process I am looking for to set folder permissions? Is it the SSH that I need to modify to do this? I am a noob at this, sorry.

Additionally... This only works when my FTP server is up... it appears as tho I am connecting through the FTP... is that right? I don't think I am getting into TelNet server for fun_plug... I think I am just logging into the FTP...

What is the fool-proof way of knowing that fun_plug is actually installed??

If you can telnet into the box, ffp is running.

Are you using a telnet client to connect?  Are you getting the Linux command prompt?  Clearly, you don't use FTP to connect to the box, but I have no idea how FTP comes into the picture.

I got it! I needed to use Volume_2 for some reason... Ok, so is SSH what I need to use to setup folder permissions?

Glad it all worked out.  You had me confused for a bit there. :D

Ok, So I have Telnet and SSH running, and I have finally trouble shooted through what was causing my FTP to not work, so thats up now.

My next goal is to change my FTP permissions like I did with SSH.  When I use the DNS-321 firmware, I apparently can only give a user 1 folder access... I have 6 main folders, I want to give 1 user access to only 3 of the 6... apparently something so easy cannot be done on the firmware, I have only limit a user to 1 folder and thats it.

So, how do I go about setting up FTP permissions like SSH?  I apparently have Pure-FTPd, because I can log into it, but once I log in, I can't do anything... and in the ffp folder, I cannot find anything (including config files) which relate to Pure-FTPd... Do I use SSH to designate FTP access, or do I use Pure-FTPd, and if so, how?  Can someone please shed some light?

Thank you.

The only way I found to deal with FTP was to put all the stuff I wanted to have available for FTP in a single folder.

I am having similar issues with my folder permissions. My main folder that holds my subfolders (movies, music, photos etc) is read only thus I cannot modify, add or delete any files. I have factory reset the DNS twice with no change. I have loaded the fun_plug program on the the Volume_1 root and can telnet into the drive. Can anyone help point me in the direction on how I can change the parameters of the folders from read only to read/write. I have very limited exp in linux.

Thnx

Well, symbolic links have been suggested, though I haven't tried it yet.  It should work, basically you create a symbolic link to each folder you want to be available, and put all the links into a folder that you allow the FTP from.

Naturally, this assumes you have access to Linux through fun_plug to access the system at that level.
