Need to change permissions on USB drive

[Demache]

I've got Ubuntu Server 10.10 running on this old workhorse. The actual OS itself is running fine and everything.

But I'm trying set up the FTP server part, and I just got stuck. I need to share /media/usb/ (my USB drive). I've got a user setup for the ftp service so the USB drive is its home directory. I can read and download from the drive just fine, but I can't copy things to it. How can I change the permissions on this?

chmod?

chown -R `whoami`:`whoami` /media/usb ?

Actually, that -R might not be a capital one. But doesn't matter, chown will tell you.

Yeah, that's part of my problem. It keeps saying "Operation not permitted" even with sudo.

Fuck yeah I figured it out. Pretty simple fix actually.

In the usbmount.conf file, I just added "dmask=0000,fmask=0000" under the FS_MOUNTOPTIONS. Not probably not the most secure, since any user can edit it now, but since its a USB drive for personal use anyway, I don't really care.
