File Permission Error on FileZilla

[andrewgc43]

Hi,

I have tried to delete a folder in Filezilla and got the error:

Error:    set attrs for /file path/: permission denied

so I thought I found the answer from One Page Zen: https://onepagezen.com/fix-ftp-permission-errors-google-cloud/

I gave the permission like:

sudo chmod 777 /path/to/file

However, the error still occurs even after I gave permission.

I am probably missing something.

Please help!

It is really a linux file permission question, not a web server question, you should ask in Linux forum or Linux category.

files and folders have ownership, for example, "user1:user1", belongs to user "user1" and group "user1", normally your ftp should be "user1" to login to the user_root, such as /home/user1/, normally any files and folders should be managable/detete/create after you login. but if your ftp doesn't login as the user defined in the system. it will runinto issue. Even you give the end file as 777 but /subfolder/777 subfolder may not give your x permission to do anything under that folder.

To sum, run your ftp as right user.
