Why are some files in public directory showing forbidden?

An ftp user uploaded some image files and I mv them from his uploads Directory to virtualhost directory with other files that display online but these files do not display online Apache shows 403 forbidden.



I tried chown to change the ownership from that user but still they won't display. When I upload files to the same Directory they work fine. I don't get it

    can you send listings of both ftp user's and your files to compare, eg. ls -al ? did you verify .htaccess for rules which may forbid access?

  • Here we see read write access is different but I don't understand it enough to know why these files won't share online... Also I know someone will yell at me for using root...
