How to set ownership of folder and permission using Filezilla

Question

Just want to have some answer to my question. Because I have a website and I have a file browser on my admin part. The problem is I can't upload on some of the folders. And when I checked on the console I got this error message:

   <b>Warning</b>: move_uploaded_file(/var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs/image/data/Philippines/login.png): failed to open stream: Permission denied in <b>/var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs/centre/controller/common/filemanager.php</b> on line <b>480</b><b>Warning</b>: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phpm0WqMg' to '/var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs/image/data/Philippines/login.png' in <b>/var/www/vhosts/flaxmidoriprojects.com/httpdocs/centre/controller/common/filemanager.php</b> on line <b>480</b>{"error":"Warning: File could not be uploaded for an unknown reason!"}

And when I checked the permission and the group on the FTP Filezilla. These folders are in different group and permissions.

These are the folders fle (0755) and 48 48 group. Can you give me an idea how did this happened?

That's all thanks. I hope you can give me some idea also on how can I fix this. I already tried changing the permission on Fileilla but my operation is not permitted.

Answer 1

You'll have to change the owner using ssh or similar, using the chown command (https://linux.die.net/man/1/chown). You can't do that through Filezilla. Usually when you have a problem like this it is because the files were created by a program or through an interface where it assigned an owner other that you. Your host might be able to help. This is sometimes a configuration issues on their end that they can help with. Make sure your .htaccess file is correct as it can help prevent problems like this.

I can't do it in Filezilla. But I done this to solve my problem.

I had the problem in cpanel. So I have to change the file permission (Not: Only folder permission). That is web folder.

1. I renamed to webx
2. Created a new folder with the name web.
3. Moved all files from webx to web

This worked for me. I checked the permission in Filezilla, its solved.
