RE: [cobalt-users] Default FTP on Raq 550

[Harvey Raybould <harvey@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

> Why not set the default ftp directory in your FTP client?

Unfortunately not all clients read the instructions fully, and they end
up
uploading their sites to the wrong area.

Just incase anyone needs this information, this appears to be the file
on
the Raq 550 that needs changing

/usr/sausalito/handlers/base/ftp/config_ftp_site.pl

I changed it form this: 

<VirtualHost $ftp_site->{ipaddr}>
    DefaultRoot     / wheel
        DefaultRoot             / $Base::Vsite::SERVER_ADMIN_GROUP
        DefaultRoot             ~/../../..
$Base::Vsite::SITE_ADMIN_GROUP
        DefaultRoot             ~ !$Base::Vsite::SITE_ADMIN_GROUP
        AllowOverwrite  on
        DisplayLogin    .ftphelp
END

To this: You will need to add a virtual site in the GUI, so that it
rewrites
the /etc/proftpd.conf file. The site can be deleted later.

<VirtualHost $ftp_site->{ipaddr}>
        MaxLoginAttempts 3
         ServerName "FTP"
         ServerIdent on "FTP Server ready."
         DeferWelcome on
         AllowStoreRestart on
         DefaultRoot     / wheel
        DefaultRoot             / $Base::Vsite::SERVER_ADMIN_GROUP
        DefaultRoot             ~/../../../web
$Base::Vsite::SITE_ADMIN_GROUP
        DefaultRoot             ~/web !$Base::Vsite::SITE_ADMIN_GROUP
        AllowOverwrite  on
        DisplayLogin    .ftphelp

END
