Ubuntu 7 server
windows development environment phpEd


Hi,
I am really enjoying the phpEd env. my question is long winded....I am working in (phpEd) on windows with a large project hundreds of files on an Ubuntu server. I can access my home directory ubuntu/home/me with filezilla and phphEd. I have used putty to move files from my directory to the /var/www folder. My question is how can I gain access to the /var/www folder from my IDE. I have chmod 777 /var/www I can see the file structure of the /var/www folder and download the files in that folder (/var/www) but I need to modify the files in the /var/www folder. Please help it is simply not practical to move each modified file from my home directory to the /var/www folder. Does anyone have a workaround this security measure.

This is not an issue with PhpED. If you get an "access denied" error when you're uploading a file to the remote server, you have to adjust file permissions/ownership according to the rules that are mostly the same for all Linux/Unix platforms. Alternatively you may want to ask your server administrator to provide you with an appropriate account that is already granted with necessary permissions. Everything depends on the directory Owner/Group, file Owner/Group and your account name relationships. For example, if your account is in the directory's Group, you need to have group-write permission or you won't be able to create/delete files in that directory. If your account is neither Owner nor listed in the Group, you need world-write permission on the directory. Same goes for the file read/write operations.

thanks
I modify those permissions.

Hey Dmitri,

Changing the permissions worked like a charm. Thanks so much--is there anything you don't know.
