Hello,

I want to let our FTP users log (through FTP) directly into the sub domain mydomain.com/user instead of the mydomain.com/~user as it is pre-configured on the server. We have several sub domains that needs to be kept updated by different user. Now I have to move the files from the user directories to the web directory.

If it’s possible, how do you do this and does it create any security risks (users getting root access)?

Thanks
Carsten

Reprinted from the cobalt mailing list:

telnet to raq and su

ln -s /home/sites/site#/users/joe/web /home/sites/site#/web/joe

(notice the space between /joe/web /home/sites)

cd /home/sites/site#/web

chown joe.home joe/

http://www.domain.com/~joe will now be http://www.domain.com/joe

The client (joe) uploads in his normal account in the /web directory

I haven't done this, so understand that I am only reposting this information.
