User/Group Folder permissions












1














This is confusing me a lot, I followed suggestions from a lot of answers here and for some reason it is still not working at all. Please bear with me as I explain what is happening.



I have a folder located at /home/admin/shared, I want to give a group called developers access (read and write) to this specific folder.



I have created the group and set it as the owner of the folder with this:



sudo chgrp -R developers /home/admin/shared


I then run ls -l /home/admin to check who owns the folder:



drwxrwxrwx  7 admin developers 4096 Dec 20 19:10  shared


I even check what groups my user is part of with



groups {username}


And it's right.



However both from SSH and FTP Client (Filezilla), every time I try to move to /home/admin/shared, I receive a permission denied error.



I've tried to use chmod too, but with the same results.



How do I fix this?

          Kept trying without any luck.



          I ended up creating a third folder /home/shared and then making the developers group owner of that and it started working fine.



          I'd still like to know if there's a fix to my original question though.
