ftp unable to out to dir. a little help please??

[blastman]

hey guys,

I'm relatively new to linux so bear with me....

I've setup an apache server (fedora 14) and created 3 virtual hosts.

The virtual host root dir are;

/srv/www/website1/public_html
/srv/www/website2/public_html
/srv/www/website3/public_html

I've installed vsftpd and set the 'user_config_dir' option.

I've then created 3 users, 'web1', 'web2', 'web3' and each has it's own file in the defined user_config_dir with only one line, 'local_root=...path...to...root...as..above'

I've set my sites up in dreamweaver (now on my laptop) and can connect to the sites fine. I can see that I'mm in the correct web roots as I've detailed above but it wont let me put any files to the server.

I checked the permissions on the web roots, and all folders read 'root:root' so I changed the 'public_html' folder to read 'web1:apache'. this now allows me to create a file using vi and save it. (yes, I su'ed to 'web1' before creating the file) so I know that the permissions are ok.

Thing is, I'm still unable to put any files.

Any ideas?
