pure-ftpd centos global directory for all users

Hi All,
I have set up my ftp server, as indicated in this guide https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/...er-centos-7-2/
Everything is working perfectly now, but I need to set up a folder that is accessible to all the virtual users.
For example
if "exampleuser" logs in he should see his home directory, as well as a "global" directory.
Does anyone know how we can do this?

Hi

You could make that directory somewhere, and put a symlink to it in everybody's home directory.

Hi Guttorm

Thanks for the fast response.I just thought there might have been an easier way as we need to make
+- 350 symlinks for this.

Thanks

You could make a script to do that, something like this:

Code:

for name in /home/* ; do 
ln -s /the/global/directory /home/$name/global
done
