Am I missing something? Become one of those guys using su. Try to create a file in that directory. (touch file) If it works, then your beef is not with the filesystem or file permissions - your FTP server may be denying write access to that directory. man 5 ftpaccess If the file creation using touch does not work, then you still have some work to do on your file/directory ownership/permissions. -- Jim Ockers (ockers@ockers.net) Contact info: please see http://www.ockers.net/ Fight Spam!
