Hi everybody,

I trying to set up vsftpd, which seems to be really cute, but i got
one probleme regarding links...
Maybee, someone can tell me why users can't follow symlinks??
This is the symlink i've created:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jan 21 12:58 ALBUMz -> /home/ftp-docs/ALBUMz//

"chmod user1 ALBUMz" or/and "chgrp ftpuser ALBUMz"

doesnt work either....
This is my vsftpd.conf
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
saturn:/# cat /etc/vsftpd.conf | grep -v '#'
anonymous_enable=YES
local_enable=YES
chroot_local_user=YES
write_enable=YES
anon_upload_enable=YES
anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES
dirmessage_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
idle_session_timeout=200
data_connection_timeout=120
banner_file=/etc/vsftpd_banner
saturn:/ #
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I think the problem is the chroot_local_user option, but i don't know how to solve this...

Any help or hint is appreciated

Hi,

This is the way i solved the problem, (workaround )
First i tried to Hardlink the files, which didn't work...
The solution is to mount the directory into the home directory of the user.

mount --bind /sourcedir /destinationdir

See also mount --help, man mount


Cheers
