OS – Windows XP SP3
Apache httpd version - 2.2.14
Mod_ftp version - 0.9.7
I am currently running an apache http web server with the configuration above and would like to implement the mod_ftp functionality within it. I would like to know if there is any way to create a virtual directory tree to represent folders accessible by the users that are outside that users homedir or document root. A brief representation below
C:/
|-ftp/
|-documentroot/
|-user1/
|-welcome.txt
D:/
|-media/
|-video/
|-tournement1.avi
|-presentation1.avi
Ftpd.conf has the following alias entry
Alias /movies D:/media/video
At present the user logs into the server with ftp://user1@xxxxxxxxxxxx
And sees a directory containing only “welcome.txt”, this can be either through a web interface or through a client like filezilla.
In order to see the video directory the user has to put in ftp://user1@xxxxxxxxxxxx/movies
Is there any way to create a virtual representation to the movies alias within user1’s home directory so using either a web interface or client they would see this structure
|-welcome.txt
|-movies
|-tournement1.avi
|-presentation1.avi
I currently user filezillas ftp server and wish to merge the ftp and http functions together within apache. Filezilla has the capability to create virtual directory trees and is the only thing I cannot figure out how to do on apache’s mod_ftp.
Thanks
