You can simply change the owner of the upload folder to be apache user using:

$ sudo chown apache_user /path/to/upload/folder

Of course, you need to know the user your web server is running as.

If you want to share the folder between multiple users, you can change the group and grant the group the appropriate permissions.

  • Thank you, this change solved my problem but when I creating a new folder with FTP the owner is user:user so I should change it from SSH again, is there any way to solve this problem for ever ? – MajAfy Dec 06 '12 at 08:17
  • @MajAfy You can setup access lists (and probably a default access list) on this folder this using the setfacl -m u:<uid>:rwx, you might want to add the -d and -R options. For more information refer to https://linux.die.net/man/1/setfacl – inaki Jul 03 '18 at 14:37
