GLFTPD on Debian help

Voicon · 10 Feb 2013 at 11:57

Hi

I have GLFTPD running on my Debian server and working well but, I want to be able to change the home directory from the GLFTPD default to one of the /home directories but every time I do this the user is unable to connect to the FTP.

Does anyone have any idea how to change this?

I have Googled it to death but everything I try fails.

Thanks in advance.

are you restarting the ftp daemon after changing?, failing that would a simple symlink not work

Hi Melvis

I have been restarting the server after making the changes but each time I do the user connects but fails to open the directory.

I can use a Symlink but there were reports of issues with this although it was some time ago so I may give it a try later, suppose it will only take 20 seconds

Thanks for the reply.

np

if that doesnt work double check the permissions for the ftpd especially if ur running selinux or using acl
