How to give ftp editable access on Ubuntu?
Good afternoon.
On ubuntu 12.04, I cannot give the user access via FTP with the ability to edit. I do this:
useradd new_user -p 1q2w3e4r -d /home/www/path -s /bin/false
passwd new_user
Add the user to the group that created files in the folder:
usermod -G www-data -a new_user
Reload
/etc/init.d /proftpd restart
Then I can go to the folder via FTP, but I can't edit it.
What else needs to be done? I need the user to be able to create, edit, delete files.

What's in the logs?
Can't create or edit, so it's definitely a permissions problem.
