Question how to enable symlinks in proftpd
- Thread starter ioweb.gr
- Start date
Looking at the ProFTPd: ShowSymlinks and the ProFTPd configuration files ('/etc/proftpd.conf', the files in '/etc/proftpd.d/' and the '/etc/xinetd.d/ftp_psa'), symlinks should be visible.
This might be a case of partial FTP client incompatibility.
To instruct ProFTPd to use a different symlink syntax (which is apparently preferred by FileZilla and perhaps other FTP clients), add the following to a new ProFTPd configuration file (e.g. '/etc/proftpd.d/symlink-compat.conf'):
It would be prudent to test several different FTP clients in order to investigate how they handle symlinks before deciding whether to use the above.
