I'm trying to setup a kickstart server that will use ftp. I created a user account and put the ISO images in /home/centos. I created a directory /home/centos/disc1 and mounted the first ISO image there. When I try to do the ftp install I keep getting an error "Unable to retrieve ftp://my.ftpserver.com//home/centos/disc1/CentOS/base/netstg2.img" I tried different versions of the ftp directory but the error above is using /home/centos/disc1.

If I manually ftp into the machine and cd to /home/centos/disc1/CentOS/base/ I can get netstg2.img. However if I do it like this it won't work:

ftp> get /home/centos/disc1/CentOS/base/netstg2.img local: ./home/centos/disc1/CentOS/base/netstg2.img remote: /home/centos/disc1/CentOS/base/netstg2.img local: ./home/centos/disc1/CentOS/base/netstg2.img: No such file or directory ftp> pwd 257 "/home/centos"

So, I don't know if vsftpd isn't configured correctly or if I'm not doing something right with the kickstart install. I haven't created a kickstart file yet or mounted the other CD's, I just want to get the install part working first.
