I have created several directories under /var/www as follows:

drwxr-xr-x  14 webuser  webuser      4096 Mar  8 15:43 .
drwxr-xr-x  23 root     root         4096 Mar 12 07:18 ..
drwxr-xr-x   2 webuser  root         4096 Dec 14 09:43 ancientlostcities
drwxr-xr-x  13 webuser  root         4096 Dec 19 16:26 artitour
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         4096 Mar 29  2001 cgi-bin
drwxr-xr-x   2 webuser  root         4096 Dec 14 09:44 eleganttrains
drwxr-xr-x   2 webuser  root         4096 Dec 14 09:44 famoustrains
drwxr-xr-x   3 root     root         4096 Dec  1 08:18 html
drwxr-xr-x   3 root     root         4096 Dec  1 08:18 icons
drwxr-xr-x   2 webuser  root         4096 Dec 14 09:44 incense
drwxr-xr-x  10 webuser  root         4096 Dec 19 16:22 musitours
drwxr-xr-x  10 webuser  root         4096 Mar 10 10:09 qe2
drwxr-xr-x  10 webuser  root         4096 Mar 10 10:11 qm2
drwxr-xr-x   7 webuser  webuser      4096 Apr  7 14:42 travelcruise

Taking /travelcruise as an example, I can ftp files to the directories, =
but if I want to upload a modified file, I can not over write the =
existing file  loging in as webuser. If I go to the command line and =
change to root,I can remove the old file and then upload the revision =
loged in as webuser.

This is redhat 7.1 with apache as the webserver. I'm using a windows ftp =
client, Cute FTP

Any ideas would be appreciated

Charlie
