Hello
Please I want to know how to change the default directory of FTP server: / home / ftp, I want to make this the default apache2: / var / www. otherwise how to link the two directories. Thank you in advance.

Hello,
The symbolic link is a solution but it should be easier.
Do you know the following

/ etc / vsftpd.conf?

You must have a configuration file for vsftpd somewhere where you will define the default directory. On what OS are you?

Hi
Hello and thank you for answers. The solution to the symbolic link works fine: ln-s / var / www / / home / ftp /.
For the configuration file of vsftpd yes I saw in / etc / vsftpd.conf, but I did not find the default directory. If there is another solution I'd like to know how. Again, thank you.

Hi
A symbolic link is the cleanest solution I found. vsftpd uses / home / ftp because it is the directory where it is ch rooted, being launched under Human ftp user. Otherwise, change the home directory of the ftp user. It happens in / etc / passwd that. Try this and see if this works with you. If not then do post back the query you have.

Indeed, if there is no option in / etc / vsftpd.conf, change the directory of the ftp user is like taking a hammer to kill a fly.

Hi
I really recommend the symbolic (or hard), because it has another advantage: you can easily add resources from other files. Example, you want to add a record of his personal home, we need only add a link in / home / ftp pointing to this folder. Otherwise, the same kind of solution can be used

mount-o bind / folder / home / ftp

This is what I do things to work round.
