Unable to create directory

[tatane]

I would put a folder outside the ftp only when I try to create a folder directly from the file manager I get the following message: Erreur: Impossible de créer le répertoire //XDsecure: filemng: Error occurred during /bin/mkdir command.(Knowing that XDsecure is the folder I want to create). Thank you in advance

FTP & Folder permissions

Am trying to understand your problem but with difficulty. Did you mean you want to create a folder outside the httpdocs folder using the plesk filemanager or FTP?

If so, that is not possible through FTP due to permissions. If you want to create such a folder, you can do so through SHELL, give it permissions and ownership same as that of "httpdocs" and then through FTP you can write to it.

 

[tatane]

Yes, I want to create a folder outside httpdoc. How do I do?

 

[abdi]

If you have shell then its walk-over. Just SSH your server then

mkdir /var/www/vhosts/yourdomain.com/new_folder

If you don't have SHELL, then you can also manipulate it by creating a subdomain or domain name and instead specifying the folder you want ie /new_folder/

What is shell?

Shell Related

Shell is a user program or it's environment provided for user interaction. Shell is an command language interpreter that executes commands read from the standard input device (keyboard) or from a file.

You can use putty (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html) to run such commands. Infact even plesk comes with a Java terminal.

and how we see if in shell?

 

[abdi]

If you meant how do I see the folder in shell, then you use the command "ls", if you meant how do i know am in shell, then obviously you are NOT, you would know when you are

 

[tatane]

Sorry for my English. So I managed to connect to the console shell. I is added
mkdir /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.fr/XDsecure

but I get this message
mkdir: cannot create directory mkdir /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.fr/XDsecure : no such file or directory

 

[abdi]

Please replace the "mydomain.fr" with the actual domain name on your server in which you want to create the folder.

 

[tatane]

my domain is sd-25645.dedibox.fr So I put mkdir /var/www/vhosts/sd-25645.dedibox.fr/XDsecure ?

 

[abdi]

Yes,

Yes.

So you have exactly

mkdir /var/www/vhosts/sd-25645.dedibox.fr/XDsecure

 

[tatane]

yes, exactly

 

[abdi]

Has it worked are you now happy and sorted ...

 

[tatane]

no, no folder named xdsecure was created in the ftp

 

[abdi]

After creating the folder, you can do the following:

chown -R <your-ftp-username> : psacln /var/www/vhosts/sd-25645.dedibox.fr/XDsecure

Replace <your-ftp-username> with the primary ftp username for the domain name sd-25645.dedibox.fr. And remove the spaces before and after :

Now, you should be able to manage and write to that folder through FTP using the above

 

[tatane]

You can write the exact code without spaces and smiley thank

 

[abdi]

Well if I do, this forum software will drop some characters and you wont see everything as it should be...

 

[tatane]

You can not put me in private message?
