[preston] Cannot chmod with ftp

[Steve Taylor]

Your httpd (apache) has nothing whatsoever to do with FTP and hence nothing
to do with chmod'ing files.

You need to look for your ftpd - which will be wu-ftpd or proftpd.

If it is proftpd (I think it is but I don't run any RH 7.3 servers) then you
need to add the line

Allowchmod on
