Hi Edwin,

I'm a little bit confused about the ftp server setting in slave sites.

I'm using Joomgallery on a slave site. Every time I finished the configuration, Joomgallery will save a css file (joom_settings.css) in the components/com_joomgallery/assets/css/ directory.
However, if I turn on the ftp server in the slave site, it will return the following error.

* JFTP::write: Bad response
* Error saving CSS file!

If I turn off the ftp server in slave site, it's OK. I guess, it is because the slave site try to access the master site files in components/com_joomgallery/assets/css/ via the slave site ftp, which root ftp path is set at the deployment directory, no right to access the master site files.

So, the question is: should I turn off all ftp servers on slave sites? Or there is any work-around?

Many thanks.

Seth

JFTP::write: Bad response
means that there is an FTP error to write the file.
This may be due to the FTP user/password that is incorrect
OR a permission issue concerning the owner of the file that you want to write.

You have to check that you can update this file manually when using an FTP tool.
This will help you identify if this is a wrong user/password, a permission issue or event a wrong path defined in the FTP Layer.

If when you turn-off the FTP, the result is correct, of course you can turn-off.
The FTP layer is generally used when you have permission issue.
If you don't have any permission problem, you can turn off.
