File manager not working + permission denied errors

I have created a TV with the image widget so editors can (you guessed it...) upload an image. Some of these images I later wanted to delete using ftp. But I can’t delete them; I get a permission denied error in my ftp program:

Is this supposed to happen?

So I thought I’d use the MODx file manager to delete the images. But I can’t use the file manager at all. When I go to Resources > Manage Files I get this error message:

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong here? I’m using MODx 0.9.6. Any help would be very much appreciated!

File manager should work just fine with MODx 0.9.6.

Maybe a folder access problem? http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/Installation_Guide

Thanks for your reply. The permissions are set the way they should - except for a subfolder in the images folder. I created this subfolder using the TV image widget, and I can’t change its permissions through ftp. Right now they’re set to 755. When I try to do CHMOD in my ftp program I get this error:

So... I’m pretty sure this is not supposed to happen?

Did you set the right permissions in config? you can set what type of chmod flag you want to set when creating a folder.

the only way to delete the images is to use the resource brouwser or the file manager because those are the same user (most likly apache) but when you use ftp you are not apache but the user you use to login.


another way to change this would be if you have root acces on your server...

OK, thanks. That explains why I can’t delete them with ftp. But do you have any idea why the file manager isn’t working at all? I didn’t change the permissions in the site config.

I’d still love to know why my file manager isn’t working. Here’s some more info in case someone feels like helping me...
