We use symbolic links to link the same file to more than one user. So the
file actually sits in /files/common/documents/test.txt and is symbolically
linked into /home/userA and /home/userB. For the next version of our code
we intend to implement a custom filesystem that will remove the need for
unix symlinks to achieve the same result.

Please respond to Subject
ftpserver-users@m Accessing Files from other users
ina.apache.org home folder?
Hi:
Can a ftp user access a file from other ftp users' home directory (or
sub directory)?
For example,
1. UserA has his home directory as /home/UserA
2. UserB has his home directory as /home/UserB
3. UserA has a file at following folder location,
*/home/UserA/documents/test.txt*
4. When UserB connect to apache ftp server, he will see "/" (which maps
to /home/UserB) as his root directory.
5. Can UserB issue "*GET /home/UserA/documents/test.txt*" to retrieve
the file?
I tried "running ftp server stand alone in 5 minutes" link, and this
seems to be not supported out of the box.
I get "550 ... : No such file or directory" error.
What is the recommended/best way to share files between various ftp users?
Thanks,
Nilesh.
