I am looking for some assistance with Raspbian Linux. Specially - I am trying to install an FTP server on one of my PIs connected to AREDN for my cameras. I started with the instructions in this link (https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/remote-access/ftp.md) and it worked well. My cameras could save pics to the server. However, when I used VNC to access the PI with the PI account I could only see the pics, I could not delete them. Could anyone assist with this permissions issue? I would like to be able to review pics then delete them before the SD card fills up. Thanks in advance.

Hank,
What username are you using to FTP into your Pi from the camera? Also, what directory are you using to save your pictures in?
Can you do a quick screen shot of the directory your pictures are saved in after completing the two commands
pwd
ls -lah
Hi, Hank:
Instead of using root to delete files, you could add your user account to the camera group.
sudo usermod -a -G camera_group your_username
Then give the group delete privileges; X7X.
I hope this helps, Chuck
