FTP issue

[samuel85]

Hi folks,

I´m having problems with Ubuntu 9.10, specifically with file vsftpd.conf

I´m trying to erase "#" for write_enable, but when I print vsftpd.conf it´s still there....

# Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command.
#write_enable=YES

I suspect this comment is responsible for error "550 permission denied" which I get when I try to upload a file from the ubuntu PC to another machine using a FTP client.

I´m newbie with ubuntu, I would really appreciate your help !

Hello and welcome to the forums!

You'll likely need root privileges to edit that file. You can go to a terminal and then use a simple text editor such as nano along with the sudo command to edit and save the file:

sudo nano /path/to/file
