Re: Re: Virtual Directory tree for ftp access

[Jorge Schrauwen <jorge.schrauwen@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was going under the assumption Alias still worked the same for mod_ftp as it did in core.
You'll notice aliasses don't get included in the directory index listing either. Unless you create a folder :) 

Glad it worked out.

awesome,so simple I am upset with myself for not trying it.

 

I've tried creating url links, lnk links, nothing worked, can't believe I never thought of it.

Seems to work a treat, must remember to add new directories though, would be nice for it to happen automatically.

Have you tried creating an empty directory called movies? All I can think of.

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

 

ftp://user1@xxxxxxxxxxxx

    |-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
