How would I change FTP permissions for a user to a specific folder via SSH? I just need to add write access.

For "one specific user"?The ftp server you're using should allow you to configure the user's access [which ftp server software are you using]?

Otherwise you could likely accomplish it by doing a combination of groupadd, chown, and chmod via shell, presuming the ftp user can already browse to the directory in question.

Not sure offhand what we use here for unix servers.

I am having the client try now, I used

Code:

chown user:group -R directory

Actually looks like I fixed my own problem.

Just so anyone with this problem knows, that command did it.
