Trouble linking 2 folders
I am having problems linking 2 folders.
Ok i have an ftp folder located at /var/ftp/uploads I also have an external drive mounted at /ftpDrive. I am essentially trying to have all data sit on /ftpDrive but make it "appear" to be in the /var/ftp/uploads directory because of an ftp (proftpd) program that i have installed. Does anyone know how i can accomplish. Thanks in advance!! |
why don't you mount the external disk at /var/ftp/uploads ?
or, if you want just to "appear" to be at /vat/ftp/uploads while the disk is mounted at /ftpDrive type (on a terminal): ln -s -T /ftpDrive /var/ftp/uploads Also type "man ln" ;-) |
As root mount your external drive like:
# mount -t <your-filesystem> /dev/<your-device> /var/ftp/uploads The original contents of /var/ftp/uploads remain intact (if there are any), but as long the drive is mounted the drive contents will be accessed. Or add something like /dev/<your-device> /var/ftp/uploads <your-filesystem> rw,user,auto 1 2 to your /etc/fstab file to automatically mount at boot time. |
