FTP Error 550 when trying to access a folder via symbolic link
- by OrangeTux
I'm configuring svftp on a linux machine.
At the moment local users can login via ftp and they will see listened their home dir.
They have write acces to it.
No I want the users to write in de /var/www/ dir. Therefore I created an new group apache. Added users to the group and gave the group write access to /var/www. Via the terminal all users can write .var/www/. I created a link in the home directory to /var/www via
ln -s /var/www/ /home/user/www
ls gives:
drwxr-xr-x 2 orangetux orangetux 4096 Jun 23 15:06 ftp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 orangetux orangetux 21 Jun 23 15:00 www -> /var/www/
But when I use FTP I see the link but I cannot follow it. Error 550 which means file not found or bad access.
How can I solve this, so that the users have access to /var/www via their home dir?
