Q: Permissions issue in Server - FTP
Hello,
Yesterday, I thought it would be a good idea to move OS X Server (El Cap) from Applications to Utilities, just to be organized and so on. Bad idea. Whatever I did hosed permissions and my FTP user can no longer write to a designated folder. For whatever reason, I can't set permissions within server to the folder. "OK" is never an option. I'm logged in as the user who should be the owner of the folder since it lives under Pictures, so while I can set permissions outside of Server in Finder just fine, Server won't let me set permissions within that user's folders. Other users and their folders - yes - even when Finder tells me I have no rights.
Something got housed when I tried to move Server. Since then, I've tried to revert to a Time Machine backup, reinstall Server, etc. I even disabled System Integrity protection (turned it back on). If I log in as an Admin, I still can't set permissions from within Server on that folder. Really weird.
Anybody else ever experienced this? What's the big deal with moving Server anyway? Thanks in advance.
