Suppose my directory named as download have files that we want to be
downloaded by others. Here is permission setting

drwxr--r--    2 root     root         download

Other directories need execute permissions in order to access on apache via
website.

When I input path like ftp://ftp.mydomain.com/download , I got same error
like

 "window couldn't access the folder, make sure that you type file
