    Minor permisisons issue

    I created a user yesterday using Webmin called marta. I tried to have marta login to FTP (using FireFTP) and while she was able to login she only saw the root folder (/), to which she has no rights.

    User joe (that is, me) automatically sees his home folder and has access to all the files in it.

    Here is the results of ls -l

    Code:
    root@MyServer:/home# ls -l
    total 12
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root      nogroup   4096 2007-07-21 20:26 ftp
    drwxr-xr-x 4 joe joe 4096 2007-07-25 20:40 joe
    drwxr-xr-x 2 marta users     4096 2007-07-24 21:30 marta
    I am a member of my own group 'joe' while marta is a member of 'users'. What I find strange is that she is listed as the folder owner, yet cannot see it?

    Figured it out (so far). User marta was not added to users group. Once I put her in there I could see her home folder and subfolders/files
