I continue to have the same problem I can connect using WinSCP with my credentials but it won't work through Oxwall I keep getting the message "Invalid FTP attributes! Provided user doesn't have permissions to overwrite files." does anyone have any advice. I'm using version 1.2.6 and I have tried port 21 and 22, along with several different usernames and passwords all of which I can use with other FTP clients.

I believe it is a related problem that i can not change settings in the language area, and my user files aren't available when I attempt to use the cloud for static files. I used softaculous for the original install, though i tried a manual install which went fine, but still no FTP access or ability to change language settings or use the cloud.

Dear all,
I'm also facing the same problem "Invalid FTP attributes". I read articles which related to this issue. But I don't see an offered solution.
Could you share a way to pass this issue?
Thank you very much

The Oxwall ftp function duplicates the root directory, something like this:
/var/www/mysite/var/www/mysite/ow_core
So you have this error. To fix it do this:
1 Open the file /ow_utilities/ftp.php
2 Change the line 63 to $dirRoot = '/'
Another option would be to change the site root directory to /, but I do not know where it is recorded that variable.

Pedro have you done any changes in this ftp.php and index.php file before that duplicated root directory started to happen?
Because $dirRoot is a constant seems like there's some concatenation going on.

Hello Ross.
I made no changes to the file. I installed Oxwall normally, but when trying to update the plugins this error occurred.
Then I saw that it was trying to create a test folder in the directory ow_core, but was duplicated root folder: /var/www/var/www. ;
I searched the functions they performed the FTP connection and found this.
I think the problem occurs because during installation the system identifies as the root folder /var/www/ and when the FTP sends the command to create it sends: MKDIR + "root folder" + "folder to be created", but the variable that stores "folder to be created" already has the root folder (/var/www).
This error only occurred in my installation in a virtual machine (LAMP), on the server hosting the installation gave no problem.
