Hello, You can use symbolic links as gary bell suggested.
Another option is that you replace our default FileSystem implementation with the one provided by the "VFS Utils Project", VFS FTPServer Bridge http://vfs-utils.sourceforge.net/ftpserver/index.html If I'm not wrong, in one of its operation modes, you are not restricted to the user's home directory. You can always develop your own 'Filesystem' implementation :-) 2011/12/15 Nilesh Apte <nilesh.apt...@gmail.com> > Hi: > > Can a ftp user access a file from other ftp users' home directory (or sub > directory)? > > For example, > > 1.
