TURN OFF You have your FTP server open as root, if you could see the number of attacks on FTP using root as the login you would be panicking now.. You must NEVER allow root login to FTP, and do NOT use it until you understand the security. Better to turn off FTP and turn on sshd. Then configure the sshd config file to dissallow root logins. Then look at the man page for scp (secure copy). You can either log in to the other machine and then su to root and use scp from your loalc machine to the remote one, or place the files in a normal user’s home directory by using scp from the client to the remote as that user. Then start reading the FTP documentation. It can become a very useful tool, or a total disaster.
If your remote computer does not have write permission for your user id then give up. Colinc as usual is right — don’t write to a remote computer as root. It’s better and easier (in the long run) to change permissions later. Sensible administrators have a directory with write permission for remote users — with a name like “upload” or something. It shouldn’t matter what the id after the name prompt is. If this is part of your summer internship you should have a user id to access that computer and you should do as much as possible with that.
Having been around the internet since just before the web got huge, I want to mention an old Slackware joke: “If you surf the net as root, you may as well be running Windoze”. This is true of ANY networking program — a browser, telnet, ssh, rlogin, and Do it as user. If you can get a secure connection, use su or sudo for administrative tasks later. But first, you need a directory you have write permissions for, and it is better if you — PERSONALLY — have write permissions for it than if the administrator does. That way the administrator can vet your stuff before allowing it to do administrative things — and if it is you who are vetting it it is STILL better to take a second look than open that space to any Tom, Dick or Harriri.
