FTP site not able to edit files. It says read only.?

Question

I am hosting customers websites and one site specifically is having issues with his FTP site. We link his website to FTP so he can edit the website and that changes are instant. Obviously. Currently after moving his site from server I finally put it back on the original one as it was. Now when he goes to edit the website in Fronpage and goes to save it, it says cannot save this is a read only. I checked in the main folder and "read only is not check." What else can I do. No other site are doing this and as far as I see the only difference is that in IIS it says next to his ftp site, "The requested control is not valid for this service." Please help! Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Make sure to check the FTP user has write permission for that folder.

Answer 2

You dont own the file or you need to change the permissions. chmod 755 filename

chgrp groupname filenam
