Beth,
I can get to http://66.196.225.55/, but if I try going
to the mail subdirectory I get:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /mail/ on this
server.
This seems to be a web server, but your question says
vsftpd.
I recently set up an ftp server using vsftpd. I found
that for a directory to be accessible to anyone,
permissions must be set so that the directory is
executable by anyone -- you get into a directory by
"executing" it. So to make a sub directory
accessible, permissions must be set in the parent
directory for the sub directory is executable. Go to
/var/www/html
and check the permissions on the mail sub directory.
The command chmod +x mail might do it (or you may have
to do chmod o+x mail, and chmod u+x mail plus chmod
g+x mail, while chmod ugo+x mail might also work).
This might help.
