Re: [Proftpd-user] SOLVED 550 access denied problem

Some knowledge of Unix filesystem fundamentals is assumed.  The need for
the execute bit to be on in order to chdir into a directory, and list the
directory contents, is part of Unix, not a requirement imposed by proftpd
itself.

FTP error codes are documented in RFC 959, the RFC that defines the
protocol.  The error codes, and their meanings, is also documented
(somewhat) in the include/ftp.h source code file.

Hope this helps...
