Security for directory not changing

[Jackd]

Ive got a directory that ive ran the following commands on

chown -hR jack:www zage
chmod -R 775 zage

This seems to change the directory security correctly, heres the output from ls -l

drwxr-xr-x  3 jack www       4096 2008-01-11 00:02 zage

But from my ftp server a user who is in the www cant create a folder or delete a folder already in the directory. The FTP server seems to be using the users details not just a standard account on the system.

Oh yer its Ubuntu 7.10 Server Edition that im using

Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this because im stumped

Thanks

from that it says that Jack can read write execute etc.

but group and other can just read execute

sounds like your chmod command isnt working, try running it as root

sudo chmod -R 775 zage

[greenfieldsupport]

ls -l should read


drwxrwxr-x zarge

im running my chmod as root?
