My user can't upload files to folders owned by www-data
- by Thomas Gautvedt
I think I have screwed up my permissions in Ubuntu.
I am using my server to run PHP. I recently ran across a problem where PHP could not create directories in the var/www-directory, so I searched around on the internet. Now PHP can write and access anything like it should, but as a user, I can't create new folders or files anymore.
Right now, the permissions for folders are like this:
drwxrwsr-x 2 www-data www-data [Folders]
This is the permissions when I upload using sftp:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 gautvedt www-data [Folders]
What have I done wrong and how can I change this?
