i mounted 1 ntfs partition in my fedora4, then, with vsftpd i start my ftp server.
when i log in, i cant see my /mnt directory, it is invisible to my ftp client. i changed the '/mnt/windows' mount point to '/home/user1/windows' but still nothing, my ftp client can see every single directory except for the one with the ntfs partition mounted. I even changed the mount point to to /home/user1/windowsD and my client was able to see the emty folder of /home/user1/windows, but the /home/user1/widnowsD is now invisible.
what can i do to access the ntfs partitions via ftp?
Can you post the output of the 'mount' command? I see no specific related options in the vsftpd.conf manpage, however I do wonder if the user vsftpd runs as can read those directories.
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 on / type ext3 (rw)
/dev/proc on /proc type proc (rw)
/dev/sys on /sys type sysfs (rw)
/dev/devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/hda6 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
/dev/shm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/hda1 on /mnt/windows type ntfs (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,umask=000)
/dev/hda5 on /mnt/windowsD type ntfs (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,umask=000)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)
automount(pid2132) on /misc type autofs (rw,fd=4,pgrp=2132,minproto=2,maxproto=4)
automount(pid2167) on /net type autofs (rw,fd=4,pgrp=2167,minproto=2,maxproto=4)
then i run the command "mount --move /mnt/windows /home/user1/windows"
before i do that, i can access /home/user1/windows emty dir with no problem
but after i mount it, the folder does not appears any more in the ftp client, but if i localy browse
it i can see all the files of the partition mounted, i dont know what is going on here.
just in order to help finding the solution, I am experiencing the same problem but without Windows.
I have a laptop only with 1 HD which has some partitions:
Code:
[root@hobbes vsftpd]# mount
/dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw)
/dev/proc on /proc type proc (rw)
/dev/sys on /sys type sysfs (rw)
/dev/devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/hda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
/dev/shm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/hda6 on /home type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hda8 on /mnt/hd2 type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hda7 on /s type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
/dev/hdc on /media/cdrecorder type udf (rw,nosuid,nodev,_netdev,user=bart)
When I log with a local user using "ftp localhost" and make "ls /" I get:
Note that the directories for /s, /boot and /mnt/hd2, which are other partitions from the same /dev/hda, simply are not shown. And I am pretty sure I can access them locally with the same user I am logging in.
I searched the net and read the whole vsftpd.conf man page but couldn't find anything related to partitions, mountpoint or device restrictions.
