[SOLVED] 550:Failed to change directory

divyashree · 09-28-2010, 02:21 PM

My directory structure is

/3dmodels/work/work

While I am changing to last work directory it's giving th error as:

550 Failed to change directory.

I have tried selinux issues,permission issues, anon issues,chroot issues but no solution.

Is there anything to do more than these issue ?

I am logging in as localuser. I can browse all the contents of 2nd work directory except the last work directory.

But in internet browser all works well,I can change into the last work directory and can also browse the directory but unable in command line.

why ?

Hi,

What ftp server you're using?
And what is the output of:

Code:

ls -ld /3dmodels/work/work

Try this:

Code:

cd /3dmodels/work
chmod 755 work
cd work

or

Code:

chmod 755 /3dmodels/work/work
cd /3dmodels/work/work

If neither works for you then check and post here these pieces of information:

Who is the owner of the last directory?

Is it same whose login name you are using?

Check directory permissions by executing the command:

Code:

ls -ld  /3dmodels/work/work

or

Code:

cd /3dmodels/work/

ls -ld work

Also try this:

Code:

cd /3dmodels/work
getfacl work

Check the ACL and then set the ACL as given here:

Code:

setfacl -m u:UserName:rwx work

Post your outputs here along with the user name you are using.

I am using vsftpd on CentOS 5.4 and the output is :

drwxrwxr-x+ 24 3da users 4096 Sep 11 13:09 /srv/backuppart2/3DModels/Neeraj Backup Folder/work/work /

Hi,

Is /3dmodels/work/work a symlink to /srv/backuppart2/3DModels/Neeraj Backup Folder/work/work?
Symlinks do not work with vsftpd. You should use "mount --bind" if yu want to access a directory outside the user's homedir.

Sorry this is a not a symlink, The original directory is /srv/backuppart2/3DModels/Neeraj Backup Folder/work/work .
In shortcut I told /3dmodels/work/work which doesnot exist.

From the "+" sign at the end of the directory permissions, looks like you use an acl.
Are you sure about the acl you're using for that directory? What gives

Code:

getfacl /srv/backuppart2/3DModels/Neeraj Backup Folder/work/work

Or can you try to remove acls

Code:

setfacl  --remove-all /srv/backuppart2/3DModels/Neeraj Backup Folder/work/work

and see if it works

Ohh I am very very sorry to say this, The name of the last work folder had a space at last position. So it was my mistake to spell the name of the folder correctly. It was work\ / and now i moved it to work/ .

And thank you all for all your efforts.

It was a good morning today.
My eyes were feeling heavy
as I had come from office
having worked in night shift.
I wanted to do some stuffs
before I would take a rest.
I saw your question
and wanted to see what could be bugging.
I started my Virtual Machine,
typed those commands to show you
how you
would exactly execute them
on your PC.
Oh just to find out...
it was a white space thing that
was bugging you...!
Oh, well! Yesterday (I think) my colleague was executing
an AbInitio (ksh) script
and it failed over and again.
It was a white space thing
that was consuming
the black background
inside an array of illogical stuffs.

Nice , actually the white space was not created by me,it was create by a client pc, who is accessing the ftp server through filezilla and said unable to access .

Not for OP and other posters here, but it may help someone - Maybe this error can mean that the user set FTP directory to which he does not have access?

Because i have seen error "S€rver d€nied you to chang€ to th€ giv€n dir€ctory" when i used the directory "/" thinking it will be considered as a FTP root directory, not system root directory.

This thread had been closed for *TEN YEARS* before you reopened it. And yes, it was a permissions issue...which is exactly what was said ten years ago, if you read the above posts.
