 |
|
Is there any way to make sybolics links work whit proftpd, i have been trying but the links just don't show up.
I need to share stuff over ftp that are on many hard drives and mounting the hole drive to the ftp folder is not an option.
I also need an better user config. This is how my current user config part looks like.
| Code: | <Anonymous /home/jonfr/ftp>
User jonfr
Group wheel
AnonRequirePassword on
HideUser root
HideGroup root
<Directory /home/jonfr/ftp/upload>
<Limit STOR>
AllowAll
</Limit>
</Directory>
<Directory /home/jonfr/ftp>
<Limit READ>
AllowAll
</Limit>
</Directory>
|
I have to do this whit every user and re-start the server every time (lucky form me, they are not many). I did go trugh the basic sample, but i didn't see any solution on this. I also found the help on proftpd.org be confusing.  |

Works for apache, may work for proftpd 
For the symbolic links - I notice that they never show up when using IE and a FTP client, but do for all other clients.
If the link is outside the chroot area then you have to mount --bind it instead |
It is worth the try replacing the username whit *?, but i don't know about the symbolic links, and the links go to /mnt/hard-drive/ |

As I doubt you'll be having ftp accounts inside the /mnt area, you need to use mount --bind instead of symlinks. Here's an example
| Code: | | mount --bind /usr/portage/distfiles /home/ftp/gentoo/distfiles |
I have that command in my /etc/conf.d/local.start
I allows me to download my servers distfiles to other gentoo clients on my LAN

I don't think bind is an good option, maybe virtual folder may be an solution..  |

I guess bind is the way i have to go, been looking around for options. I didn't find any.
So now i have to figure out how to put this into fstab and make it work. Bind that is... |

*? "fix" creates an problem. When i use that, i end in /home/jonfr not /home/jonfr/ftp (that is / when users log in) and other users just end up in there home folder.
I've come up whit an idea to fix this, i will use pureftpd and mount bind option to connect the users files to the correct folders, problay by using virtual user option in pureftpd. |
