How to grant permissions to a user on an Ubuntu FTP directory?

Question

FTP

We created a user and added a directory to him, connected via an FTP client, tried to upload files, gave an error 550. How to fix it?

Answer 1

Use proftpd
Use ftpasswd to create a user with the correct permissions. The system user ID can also be specified there.
Something like this:

ftpasswd --passwd --file=/etc/proftpd/proftpd.passwd --name=ftp_user --uid=$(id -u system_user) --home=/var/www/iva/data/www/iva.su/drafts --shell=/bin/false

ftp_user - FTP user name.
system_user - file owner username.
Add to proftpd config?

AuthUserFile /etc/proftpd/proftpd.passwd
AuthOrder mod_auth_file.c
RequireValidShell off
DefaultRoot ~
