 |
|
Hi, I'm trying to set up a ftp server, and on top of some (possibly ISP based) passive problems, I can't get pureftpd to allow users to follow symlinks. In the average users' home directory, there are a couple links to various drives/folders, however when I try to follow them, I get
| Code: | ftp> dir
200 PORT command successful
150 Connecting to port 32775
lrwxrwxrwx 1 1000 41 22 Jan 29 05:37 Camera -> /mnt/documents/Camera/
226-Options: -l
ftp> cd Camera/
550 Can't change directory to Camera/: No such file or directory |
I'm using virtual users. The virtual user is mapped (if you will) to the a user called 'ftpuser' who is a member of the group 'public', which is the group owner of all the links and files/directories they point to. As far as I know the rights are set properly for the files/folders, group owners only have read access to files and read/execute to directories.
The link:
| Code: | | lrwxrwxrwx 1 jon public 22 Jan 29 00:37 Camera -> /mnt/documents/Camera/ |
And the target:
| Code: | | drwxr-x--- 8 jon public 4096 Jan 7 15:17 Camera |
My config file follows.
| Code: | # Config file for /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd
## This variable must be uncommented in order for the server to start ##
IS_CONFIGURED="yes"
SERVER="-S 21"
## Number of simultaneous connections in total, and per ip ##
MAX_CONN="-c 10"
MAX_CONN_IP="-C 2"
## Start daemonized in background ##
DAEMON="-B"
## Don't allow uploads if the partition is more full then this var ##
DISK_FULL="-k 90%"
## If your FTP server is behind a NAT box, uncomment this ##
#USE_NAT="-N"
## Authentication (others are 'pam', ...)##
## Further infos in the README file.
AUTH="-l puredb:/etc/pureftpd.pdb"
## Misc. Others ##
MISC_OTHER="-A -E -x -R -B -O stats:/var/log/pureftpd.log -u 1" |
Any help would sure be appreciated. It's driving me nuts. (So is my ISP, but thats another issue I think).

To be able to use ftp-able symlinks, emerge pure-ftpd with the vchroot USE flag.
As root:
| Code: | echo "net-ftp/pure-ftpd vchroot" >> /etc/portage/package.use
emerge -va pure-ftpd |
Some might say doing this is a bit of a security risk. The Pureftpd web site says it probably shouldn't be. YMMV. |

| Thank you kindly, I wondered if it was compile option, I'd been fooling around with the --with-virtualchroot listed in the read-me, but had no idea how to pass it to emerge. Thanks. |
