Hiya got a weird situation.

I have a Linux Redhat Enterprise 3.0 Server with Cpanel. Everything is up to date :)

I have files in a public_ftp folder which i allow anon users to download.

Recently I deleted all the files in the public_ftp folder but they still show when i log in anonymously.
If i log in with my user account the directory is empty.
If i use root access using SSH and check the folder its empty.
If I log into CPanel and use its file manager the folder is empty.

Its only when i log in anonymously that the folder shows the files still there. Furthermore i can still download them. I have tried adding files to the public_ftp folder but they refuse to show up.

I really don't understand whats going on :bawling:

I've even checked the ip addresses to make sure i am access the right server. I have also restarted proftpd.

Any help would be welcome.

Maybe you could give the IP and somebody could log in with anon to see if they show up here?

the address is ftp://sasuke.info/

Wow, definatley showing over here as well. Can you ssh into the machine and do:

locate 5D_Naruto_107.zip

Possibly the anonymous ftp is set to a different directory than what you have been seeing in ssh, file manager, etc?? :stickout:

Strange i got another error message:

warning: locate: warning: database /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db' is more than 8 days old

I rechecked public_ftp again though and its empty.

Do locate -u;

odd that your database is old, thats another problem in an of itself, try:

fine / -name 5D_Naruto_107.zip

i rechecked proftpd.conf , and there was a small mistake. Seems like WHM didn't change something properly. Mystery solved :D

The anon directoty should have been... /home/kakashii/public_ftp/
but instead was /home/kakashi/public_ftp

was missing the 'i'

Thanks for your help :D now got that other old database problem *lol*

locate -u should fix the old database problem

thanks a bunch :)

No prob bob...err kakashi.
