access symlink in ftpd??
Hi there people! I have setup a FreeBSD box with Mysql,apache+mod_php for practical purposes, when i want to update the webpages on the FreeBSD machine i found it very hard to first use FTP to transfer the pages from my windows machine, and then SSH in to the FreeBSD machine and move the files to the documentroot. how do i do a symlink that points to the default ftpddir ( /usr/home/name ) ? I know i can change the documentroot dir to be in my homedir in httpd.conf, but i dont want to do that. and yes... i have read the man pages, but i guess iam stupid :-) anyone out there who wants to help me?

What's the problem? $ ln -s $documentroot ~ But that's not the real answer. If you're using ftp, you're also transferring your password in the clear. After that, you don't need ssh to access the machine; you've already compromised yourself. I use rsync for this purpose.

Get it (and ssh too) here: http://cygwin.com/ Or better yet, just start using FreeBSD exclusively :-) Cheers, Jerry Hicks [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
