If I am root I can have access to the directory.
But my wife needs to ftp in and drop the files off in the httpd/html
directory. the error is permission denied. the server will not allow any one
to log in as root (ftp or telnet or ssh) If you get on ther server it self
you can log in as root.
It is not pratical to ftp ito her personal dir and the go to the linus box
and log in as root and move the files to the httpd/htlm dir. I will check
the error dir.
