CHMOD: 553 Permission denied on server... Anything I can do?

Hi there!

I like SmartFTP very much! The only problem I have is that I constantly get the message 553 when I try to change permissions on files. I found no explanation in the knowledge base and how to's, so maybe you can help me.

First thing I'd like to know is if I have missed something where I can change settings or options in order to make the changes.

The admin of the FTP server assured that I am the owner of all directories and should be able to make changes!

Help!?

Thanks a lot in advance!


Best regards,
Adrian

Hi... trying to upload an html document (index.html) I got the error...

553 Can't open that file: Read-only file system

But the forums say 553 means the file name is not allowed.

Ideas?

You are unable to change anything on this account because the username listed under the home directory is proberl set to caption and not you username it should be.

If you would like me to reset the entire permissions to your current username, notify your host,

The problem normally is caused by theusername being changed causing permissions to be redone or somebody has shell access and changed ownership themselves.
