Hello,
im ussing Greyhole and now wanted to add FTP functionality so i added my Shares to the FTP Tab.
First of all, the symlinks created by Greyhole are not visible on FTP listing. Most newer FTP clients use MLSD for listing which ProFTP only supports for Symlinks from version 1.3.4b and newer.
There is a workaround for this, by adding:
<IfModule mod_facts.c>
FactsAdvertise off
</IfModule>
to the ProFTP Config, so the Client is forced to use the older LIST Command, now the Symlinks show up. As far as i understand, ProFTP is chrooted to /srv/ftp and the Shares are mounted using "--bind" into that folder.
Now my Problem: ProFTP is not able to follow the Symlinks. if i try to Download a symlinked File:
550 duplicity-full-signatures.20140517T000741Z.sigtar.gpg: No such file or directory
This shurely is because they Point outside of the chrooted /srv/ftp dir. Is there any way around this? In combination with Greyhole, FTP pretty much seems to be useless for accessing my Pooled-Files...
Regards
Daniel
