Beth,

I can get to http://66.196.225.55/, but if I try going to the mail subdirectory I get:

Forbidden You don't have permission to access /mail/ on this server.

This seems to be a web server, but your question says vsftpd.

I recently set up an ftp server using vsftpd. I found that for a directory to be accessible to anyone, permissions must be set so that the directory is executable by anyone -- you get into a directory by "executing" it. So to make a sub directory accessible, permissions must be set in the parent directory for the sub directory is executable. Go to

/var/www/html

and check the permissions on the mail sub directory. The command chmod +x mail might do it (or you may have to do chmod o+x mail, and chmod u+x mail plus chmod g+x mail, while chmod ugo+x mail might also work).

This might help.

I have my web files in /var/www/html uploaded using vsftpd, everything is ok there all files in the directory /html appear fine, but when i try to access my folder http://66.196.225.55/mail I get the error below.

Notes: There is a valid index.html localed in that folder. /mail folder = drwxr-xr-x all files within /mail = -rw-r--r-- 66.196.225.55 is public addy for ip noted below

This is my 1st linux server & could use a bit of quality advise. I would appreciate greatly any assistance.
