title: Setting proper User permissions in VSftpD (Ubuntu Server)
body: <p>I recently set up an Ubuntu Server (32-bit, 11.04) and setup LAMP. I'm trying to configure VSftpD so I can transfer files locally from my laptop to the Ubuntu server. </p>
  
  <p>I was able to follow various tutorials to create the CHroot user list. I was able to properly set the default root folder to my vars/www. For some reason my login is unable to edit files or folders. I am currently using my root user, I was unsure on how to create a Virtual user.</p>
  
  <p>Any info or pointing in the right direction would be of much help. After 3-4 hours of searching through blogs, tutorials, and forums I figured I would give this a shot.</p>
  
  <p>** Disclaimer - I used the search feature but couldn't seem to find anything relevant to my issue.**</p>
  
  <p><strong>RESOLVED</strong></p>
  
  <p>I figured out the issue, the permissions of the folders were not properly set. I entered the following and now my user has 100% access</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo chown -R USERNAME /var/www 
  sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>RESOLVED</strong></p>
