[newbie] FTP access to other folder
Hi all The FTP service on my Linux box defaults to /home/ftp which contains the folders: bin, pub, I have some files in /home/abc and want to give FTP access to this folder. I know that one option is to move /home/abc to /home/ftp/abc, but this will be my last resort. I tried creating a symbolic link: [root@linux /ftp]#ln -s /home/abc abc However, when I try to access the folder with an FTP client, I get the error message: Requested action not taken (e.g., file or directory not found, no access). Is it possible to give access both to the current folder in /home/ftp and to /home/abc? Else, how can I change the default folder which the FTP server accesses? Thanks for your help.

[newbie] FTP access
Any ideas why I can't access a Mandrake 6.0 server with an FTP client as a "real" user when I can as an anonymous user? The ftpaccess file is set for the default.
