I am using the FTP driver.

All directory permissions up to and including my home directory have a
drwxr-xr-x permissions. The problem is that FTP driver is configured to
access not upper than user's home directory.

Note that originally I wanted to set in backends.php
'root' => '/mnt/caesar1/export1/home/'.$_SESSION['imp']['user'],
to fix this, but some users have home directory in export2, export3, ...
ant this won't work for them.

My backends.php :

$backends['hordeftp'] = array(
    'name' => 'FTP Server',
    'driver' => 'ftp',
    'preferred' => '',
    'hordeauth' => true,
    'params' => array(
        // The hostname/IP Address of the FTP server.
        'hostspec' => '127.0.0.1',
        // The port number of the FTP server.
        'port' => 21,
        // Use passive mode?
        'pasv' => false,
        // Set timeout (in seconds) for the FTP server. Default: 90
seconds
        // 'timeout' => 90,
        // If true and the POSIX extension is available the driver will
map
        // the user and group IDs returned from the FTP server with the
local
        // IDs from the local password file.  This is useful only if the
FTP
        // server is running on localhost or if the local user/group
        // IDs are identical to the remote FTP server.
        // You must be running a version of Horde >= 3.1 for this
parameter to
        // have any effect.
        // 'maplocalids' => true,
        // The default permissions to set for newly created folders and
files.
        // 'permissions' => '750'
    ),
    'loginparams' => array(
        // Allow the user to change the FTP server.
        // 'hostspec' => 'Hostname',
        // Allow the user to change the FTP port.
        // 'port' => 'Port'
    ),
    // 'root' => '',
    // 'home' => '',
    // 'createhome' => false,
    // 'filter' => '^regex$',
    // 'quota' => false,
    'clipboard' => true,
    'attributes' => array('type', 'name', 'download', 'modified', 'size',
'permission', 'owner', 'group')
);
