NTFS and FTP ..
 

i would like to get some info on NTFS mounting and its compatibility with FTP servers.

i have purftpd running and a NTFS partition mounted.

but why cant i download files from the mounted NTFS partition through a FTP connection ??

and dont laugh id this question is stupid .. i just want to know why is it impossible.. seems strange to me..
:confused: :confused: :confused:

Can the user that tries to download the file
access it locally? Mounted NTFS partitions
are usually limited to access by root...
Check your /etc/fstab and modify the line
mounting the ntfs partition so it's readable
to other users, too ...

man 5 fstab
man 8 mount

yes tried that. even root cant download. but all the files are accessable locally. so i dont understand. seems strange.

i get this kind of a message:

150-Accepted data connection
150 9.8 kbytes to download
450 Error during write to data connection: Invalid argument

cant figure this out.
