Software :: Use Symlinks In Annon Ftp Dir And Proftp - Error 550
Jan 9, 2010
I wanted to use symlinks, in my annon ftp dir. I was running vsftp, but everyone says it can't be done. So I have changed to proftpd. I link to the annon ftp server on my website. I get the dir listing, with symlinks, but try to follow them I get error 550, it don't exist. I have read [URL], but after following the advice here. I get the same error. I have not tried the mount bind option, as I want symlinks or hard links either will do.

the hard drive on my web server died so I replaced it and installed Fedora 15. I have been installing the OS on a small drive and then mounting other drive(s) for storage and did the same thing here. The problem is that I cannot get Apache to follow symlinks. Apache is partially working, it will serve my index.html page in the web page root directory and I made another directory called webtest and put some files in, and that worked fine. I made a symlink from the root directory to a folder on the mounted drive but when I try to access it, it gives me the old 403 Forbidden error. I also made a similar link in the webtest directory, I can view the other files in that directory but it does not show the link - also, trying to force it by typing the full path in the browser gives the same 403 error.
I have checked the permissions and SELinux types (using ls -Z) and they seem to be fine and I cannot find any .htaccess files. All the files on the mounted drive are owned by www:www but I also tried setting the user and group to www in httpd.conf and it still gave the same issue, so I changed them back to apache. I've been reading posts and sites on this for hours now and I'm still lost. I can post results of log files if they are of any use, I just wasn't sure what to post because it is somewhat working.

Ive looked up and down but i cant seem to find an answer to my question. Why cant i upload to my ftp site. I am running a lamp server and i installed proftp. i created users and groups. i tested my server and its working fine. but now when im working on dreamweaver to connect to my ftp... It connects fine i can download my files from the site but when i edit them and try to "put" them back. i get an error:
index.html - error occurred - An FTP error occurred - cannot put index.html. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem. Make sure you have proper authorization on the server and the server is properly configured.

I am running CentOS release 5.5 (Final) with PROFTP installed.
I am able to connect to the ftp server from local, but when I try it from dream weaver CS5 it can't connect to the server. I ran a port scan and 21 seems to be open:
PORT STATE SERVICE
21/tcp open ftp
22/tcp open ssh
53/tcp open domain

I'm running a ProFTP 1.3.3 server on a CentOS 5.5.What has come to my mind in terms of security is to have the server disabling / deactivating account that enters the wrong password, lets say three times.Using MaxLoginAttempts only limits the possible retries on a open connection.

I am using Debian 4 with proftp 1.3.1 The log file shows lots of successful logins from localhost. I never accessed ftp from localhost. Is this normal to happen?
Code:

I have been using proftp for about 8 months. After getting the configuration right, it worked perfectly. It is only used intermittently, so I don't know for sure when the problems started, but I suspect it was triggered by a recent OS upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 (64 bit). I have proftp set up so that TLS is required on both the data and control channels. The problem is that, after successful login, the server seems to be terminating the session because the client (FileZilla) is attempting to renegotiate something (probably the TLS). The client settings didn't change, nor did the server settings.
I have tried switching off the TLSRequired flag, and am then able to establish a non-secure FTP session which works (but that does not meet my requirements). I wondered whether the OS upgrade had somehow invalidated my TLS certificates, but the symptoms don't seem consistent with that cause. The TLS part of my proftpd.conf file is:

I got Fedora 10 and I installed a proftpd server it works in local network but not from outside. Actually I can see it checks for user and pass but when it has to list the user dir it freeze. The server is behind a router. I am using passive ports 60000-60100 and I forwarded all connections to and from 21 to 60000-60100 onto internal (192.168.0.109) IP address.

I have a real system user say 'test', created in a number of system groups, up to 3 additional groups (including ftp of course). Its set to the usual standard directory /home/test. But what if I wanted to use /home/test as their home directory but login to what would be unknown to them to be ProFTP to make them go in say [URL] or something random like that, how is this done? Just been through things like this:
Quote:
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.255>
ServerName "ftp.mydomain.com"
ServerAdmin "me@localhost"
[code]....
But nothing seems to work.

How to Nat. I wanted to be able to resolve something like
ftp.myfirstdomain.com to 192.168.0.2
Then ftp.mysecond.com to 192.168.0.3
Just as a random example, I know these cannot be done using name based virtual hosts like in Apache. But I got this working internally using my LAN connection and the 2 IP addresses above, with Bind DNS pointing the dns's to those 2 ip addresses respectively. This worked, yet when I tried connecting from my work place to transfer some files, it kept going to the default user's home directory. Just wanted to get this project finished, 2 domains and one public facing IP address.

I just got a new server dedicated running php5 and SUExec. I understand the concept. INstead of running as "nobody", PHP scripts run as the user of that website. This also means I don't have to have some special directory where I set permissions to 775 or 770 with group=nobody etc just to upload files via PHP .. since PHP will upload files just as the user would using FTP. OK, great so far, and more security, I'm all for it.

Not sure what else to call it. My softlinks are not updating to reflect the parent/linked folder-files.
Code:
ln -s /folder/* /home/user/Music
This produces what I want. However, if I make any changes to /folder/, I dont see a reflected change in the links at /home/usr/Music.
A added plus would be to be able to use folder/file thumbnails from the source directory on the symlinks. Are sym links just shortcuts or are they real links to the directory (dynamic).

I have a directory full of symlinks. I want to zip them as if there were the real files. If I just zip them as usual, the resulting zip file does not contain the files at all! Is there any way to do this?

I'm wondering if there is a safe and reliable way of converting symlinks to directories to hardlinks? Basically I have a bunch of files in a directory tree under directory A, and I have in another directory B a set of symlinks to the original site. I would like all the files to end up in B and A to be empty. The links are all to directories, not to files, so the soft2hard script here won't work.
I don't have enough free diskspace to copy the files from A to B so I thought that converting the softlinks to hard links and then removing directory A would work? There are many directories, so would like to do it automatically if at all possible.
(In case anyone is intrigued, the issue is with my maildir directory. I used to use kmail, but with the move to kmail2 it became buggy and virtually unusable with large amounts of mail and I had to find another solution. I now use dovecot with gnus and mutt as MUA to access the maildirs. kmails maildirs are non-standard (!), so with the help of a script I found online, I created ~/dovecot and in it put symlinks to all the maldirs under ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail. The problem with this is if I accidentally start kmail it will try to access that directory and mess up all my tags, so I want to completely move all my mail from ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail to ~/dovecot, but without messing up all my tags etc.)

When I access my OpenSUSE box's samba shares from another PC I am able to browse them, but am not able to follow symlinks.I've had the problem before on Ubuntu and fixed it by adding the following lines to my /etc/samba/smb.conf
unix extensions = No
wide links = Yes
follow symlinks = Yes
I've added them into my OpenSUSE smb.conf (below) but still no joy.

I recently tried the package "pysdm" to mount a data partition but didn't care for the way it handled things so I opted for editing fstab which I'm much more satisfied with.I did then purge pysdem and it's config files but something lingered, finally I got things working by using a UUID designation in fstab but I know there's an old symlink to a /dev/sdb7 that has since been deleted and later recreated with a new UUID.
I have "googled" enough to find that the package "fslint" should be able to handle this but since one gui got me in trouble I'm reluctant to use another, I'd prefer just being able to find where symlinks live and ripping them out by the short hairs

Not sure this is appropriate here but wondering if one has advantage over other in terms of sharability?
Also is it possible to upload files through symlinks? ie put a simlink to a tar ball located elsewhere on filesystem than ubuntu one/dropbox folder.

shed some light on what the behavior would be if I symlinked a non-encrypted directory (lets call it /media/sdcard/foo) into an encrypted home directory (lets say home/documents/sdcard-docs)Would files written to that symlinked directory be encryptedgarbled, or would they be normal? would files that were attempted to be read be interpreted as encrypted, or would they be read properly?

I did a "backup" of my .wine folder by copying it to my network attached storage drive. Now, that folder thinks it has about 200gb of data! Specifically, it's the .wine/dosdevices folder. I didn't grasp that Wine had created some kind of hard links to my ~ folder on my Ubuntu box. Since that folder is clearly recursively linking to all my files, I'm afraid to just delete it. I did delete one file within it as a test and, sure enough, the original file back on my Ubuntu box disappeared!how can I delete the .wine "backup" folder I created on my NAS without deleting all the original files?

I'm hosting some sites on a dedicated server. All these sites make use of the same codebase (couple of directories with php and javascript files). Because I want to manage this codebase on only one location, I was trying to share it via symlinks. When looking at commandline, everything seemed to work fine. However, when browsing to the sites that use the codebase, problems occur. It seems as if php cannot find the files.

I tried to run one grep that excludes symlinks and pipe it into a second that searches for my pattern but I continue to get the recursive directory loop error. As a result (I think) my grep is incomplete as the search just loops between directories symlinked together.

I am trying to do an rsync that includes a symlink in a folder. I only want the symlink to change on the destination if the mod time of the symlink on the source is newer. The behavior i am seeing is that the symlink on the destination is always updated to match the source regardless of the mod time.
