| 188617 | 2003-11-02 05:07:00 | Hi Installed vsftpd on my server & by default the ftp/pub folder has been created in /var. I would have thought it should have been created in /var/www/html/? I could not access the folder using login/passwds I had created so I edited the vsftpd.conf to allow anonymous login. I can now access the ftp/pub folder but as I say shouldn't it be in the html folder? Thanks |

| 188619 | 2003-11-03 01:31:00 | FTP is a protocol and it has a server. HTTP is a protocol and has a server. They are different animals. Their files are kept in different areas. :D There's a good reason for this: security. The idea is to wall off anonymous FTP users from the rest of the system. In earlier RH versions , FTP's home directory root was /home/ftp/. If you have got users loggng in with passwords, their ftp transfers should be to/from their home directories. Only "anonymous" transfers should go to var/ftp/pub/ . I'm pretty sure Apache allows users to have their "own" web sites under their own /home/a_user/html directory, and one daemon will respond to requests for pages under www.blah.where.ever/~a_user/ . Do you want multiple users working on one web site? Could be messy. :D |

What FTP Client did you use to connect to the FTP server? I'd suggest not using a browser but a proper client. |
