This bugs me for some weeks now. Plugins and Templates I installed through Spartacus cannot be removed (deleted) with my FTP program. CHMOD-value is 755 so there shouldn't be a problem. But all I get is 550 Permission denied.
Changing the file attriubutes (CHMOD) also is not allowed.
Stuff I uploaded myself does not give any problem.

It did work work in the past and as far as I know nothing has changed.

My website runs on a webserver by a webhost.

Edit: Solved. I migrated to an other webhost, so this problem is nog longer valid. A fresh start without beginner mistakes. Thanks for your feedback.

IIRC a file-creation or delete is a write-access to the directory. perhaps the permissons of ./ are not "right"?

That seems to be fine. Also altering the settings of the Spartacus-plugin does not help.

Hi!

Which values did you enter in the spartacus configuration? Usually you enter "0777".

However, changing this only changes files downloaded in the future; it does not change files that already exist.

Have a look at the fixperm.php script in the s9y.org FAQ, that could help you to adjust permissions.

You can't delete the files because you dont have the rights. "Apache" is the owner of the files placed on your server by webapplications. Because of this you can't delete them in FTP but only in a webapplication. You have to request the hostingprovider to remove the files.

OK, the Spartacus settings are OK now, I can install new plugins with it, and I'm still able to delete the files and directories afterwards with my FTP program.

Deleting the old files of which I do not seem to be the owner, is not solved yet. I understand the procedure in the FAQ Garvin has pointed out. When I alter the fixperm.php to change the rights on a directory I cannot delete now, it does not make any diference.
