User and Group Permissions for Directories

I'm trying to grant permissions to a group for a given directory, so that multiple users can FTP in and have read/write permissions in the same directory.  I tried doing 'chown -R :groupname /path/to/directory' but it only granted the permissions I wanted to the first person in the group.  How should I go about doing this?

Re: User and Group Permissions for Directories

Are the actual file permissions set correctly on the files for the group?  Instead of <code>755</code> you need to chmod to <code>775</code> for example.  If they are owned by the correct group, that should get things settled...
