Linux – Can’t delete files from server

ftplinux

When I try to delete files from my ftp using filezilla I get the following error:

550 image.jpg: Permission denied

The file permissions on this image are 644, tried to change it with something higher but no success…

550 CHMOD 777 image.jpg: Operation not permitted

Tried to delete from plesk panel but the same.

Any ideas? I have a vps hosting with linux/centos.

You don't have permissions to the file. You aren't the owner of the file. Therefore, you cannot remove or change permissions on the file. Try this in a shell:

sudo rm -f image.jpg

Ubuntu – Proftpd on Ubuntu – Create directory permission denied (550 ) after upgrade to 9.10

Ok after some trial and error I found the solution.

I needed to add the commands XRMD and XMKD to those allowed by the user. They are described as X-Variants of the commands RMD and MKD and are apparently "often missing from a thorough configuration" according to http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/doc/contrib/ProFTPD-mini-HOWTO-Limit.html

So perhaps somewhere in my system these commands are now being used instead.

The end of my config now reads:

<Directory /home/userftp/upload>
Umask 022 022
AllowOverwrite on
    <Limit READ>
        DenyAll
        </Limit>

        <Limit STOR CWD MKD RMD DELE XRMD XMKD>
        AllowAll
        </Limit>
</Directory>
