[Proftpd-user] Simlinks

[Steve Matzura]

What must be set in proftpd.conf to let standard FTP users see (and
follow) simlinks?

[Patrick Muldoon]

ShowSymlinks On which is the default.

but if you are using default root

see

http://www.proftpd.org/docs/howto/Chroot.html

for why it might not be working.

I was able to get it to work in a chroot setup (DefaultRoot ~) by recompiling with mod_vroot (https://github.com/Castaglia/proftpd-mod_vroot/ https://github.com/Castaglia/proftpd-mod_vroot/)
As I remember, it requires a particular kind of directory structure and some directives of its own.  Not a problem here, and it works as expected.

I thought that was it, and that is what I have in the conf, but for
some reason I cannot figure, they don't show unless I logg in with FTP
over ssh.

Good news: Symlinks is on.

Bad news: I copied the IfModule lines into my conf and restarted the
service, but nothing changed. I then tried finding mod_facts* and
apparently my implementation of ProFTPD doesn't have it. odd, as
/usr/share/doc/modules/mod_facts.html says it's compiled into ProFTPD
by default. Is it possible the RPM for ProFTPD got me a compilation
without this module?
