550 chmod

[namida]

I am using WS_FTP to do uploads, etc

The server is apache and it's not with me (web hosting)

I'm trying to make a new directory, to write and read files into/from it.

The directory works, the file is there but when I view with the ftp I can't see the files. The only way I know the file is there is by opening the file through the web (direct url typing works as well)

When I change directory to the new directory say "new/" it would say 150 Here comes the Directory Listing
Received 0 bytes in 0.1 secs, (0.00bps), transfer suceeded
226 Transfer done (But failed to open directory)

Then I tried to change the directory's chmod .. to anything else 700 or 755 or 777 even.

but it says 550 chmod CHMOD failed. It may not be supported on remote site.

I know I have permission to change chmods because I have done it before. with other directories.

But this one doesn't work.

The parent of "new" is on 755 now.

---getting confused ------

Hi,

I wonder if your web hosting company allow active and passive ftp session. With active the company need to open port 20 as well for data. eg listing.

Try your passive connection in your ftp client.

I tried passive. DIdn't work.
I could change all the other directories' chmod. Only these two directories that I created on the fly. They are created as 0766 initially.


Thanks though

How were the directories created? Who owns them?
