FTP Server on Ubuntu?

Edit 4: Okay! How can I add a user to vsftpd, make them able to access their home directory, and [ljass]/var/www[/ljass], and give them full permissions for those folders? Running [ljass]chown -R username directory[/ljass] seems to break PHP, so that doesn't work.

OS is Ubuntu 10.10 SE, running a LAMP stack, OpenSSH, and vsftpd.

You should change your www folder to a place where you have the rights.

sudo gedit /etc/lamp/apache/httpd.conf // path is probably different but you get the idea.

Change the path in the apache configuration file to something like /home/MyWebSite/www

I think that's the best option.

It's working now. It seems it was an issue with the permissions of the folder. I had to run [ljass]chmod -R 777 /var/www[/ljass] the folder, and then set my umask in the config to 022 to make the files uploaded executable by default (for PHP).
