CentOS 5 FTP doesn’t work
If you are using CentOS 5 and enable FTP and when your users try to FTP in, they get the following error:
500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/home/their_directory
The problem isn’t with FTP (as I first thought), the issue is actually with SELinux.
To fix, edit the file: /etc/selinux/config
Look for the line that says:
SELINUX=enforcing
and change it to:
SELINUX=disabled
