I am using ftpd (I dont know where wuftpd is even tho i installed it) on FreeBSD 3.1-Release. I have it setup for anon access and that seems to work fine. The trouble comes in when I try to link my directories that have stuff in them to the pub folder.. I have a directory called /DOSE/FTP, in here are more directories containing the stuff I have.. I am trying to link them to my /var/ftp/pub directory.. but when I try to cd into them ("/var/ftp/pub/Stuff" for example..) I get the error message "Stuff: No such file or directory.". I dont have a clue why this is.. I can go into that directory just fine from my system.. just not thru ftp. I have a feeling it has to do with my permissions on the links/folders.. not sure how or what to set these to. Any help would be appreciated. -- * David Abdemoulaie * ICQ - 21360590 * mailto:DAcash18@vt.edu (c)copyright 1998 by David Abdemoulaie. All rights reserved.
