I'm setting up a local mirror server on a CentOS4 box. I want it to serve files over http, nfs and ftp.
I've set this up with the mirrored directories on a separate partition. I've got the http and nfs working but am having some trouble with ftp.
I'm using vsftpd as the ftp server. I can log in to the ftp server and get to the pub (/var/ftp/pub) directory. However when I try and go to the mirrored directories below this I get a "can't change directory error. The mirrored directories is a symbolic link to the actual directories on the separate partition.
So my question is is vsftpd chrooted to the /var/ftp directory by default and won't follow symbolic links and if so is there any way to change this behaviour.
I can change the mount points if I need to but I was just wondering.
Thanks,
Tony
