My suggestion would be to make ownership of that directory tester.apache, and make the user tester a member of the group apache. Then your chmod setting of 755 will give the user *tester* rwx (read/write/execute) and the apache group r-w (read/-/execute) perms for that directory. then when user tester logs in via FTP he'll be able to access his home directory. -- Mark "If you have found a very wise man, then you've found a man that at one time was an idiot and lived long enough to learn from his own stupidity." ============================================== Powered by CentOS4 (RHEL4)
