FTP user for XF dev

Hey,

I want to give a XF developer ftp access to my server, so he can change/delete/edit files.

I gave him the ftp user centminmod created automatically but he said it doesn't have the rights edit files.

So how can I make that ftp user have all rights? Or create a new user with all rights?

Code:

pure-pw useradd YOURFTPUSERNAME -u nginx -g nginx -d /home/nginx/domains/YOURDOMAINVHOST
service pure-ftpd restart

Doing this and I could add a pureftpd user as it seems but it didn't have write permissions.

I think doing this below fixed the permissions problems.

Code:

chown -R nginx:nginx /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public

Is this the correct way of doing it?

 

They were uploaded via the root user. I always use the root user.

I thought the automatically created pure-ftpd user, which was created when we installed centmin mod and followed the steps, will have automatically all the correct permissions. But not the case.

From what I understand, I have to chown always after I did sth. with root user, so other ftp users are able to "write" permissionwise?

It took me quite a time to find out what was the problem honestly. Like for directories and folders we can do chmod and give permissions and see what permissions are there. But for users I couldn't find a damn one-liner which helps me to give the "write" permission for his directories.

Anyway, thank you.
