Been using Proftp to serve up my ftp page, the problem is, I
have now run out of disk space and want to access a directory
on another disk. I know a symlink wont work because of the
chroot set up, every time I google I get the same answer, use
mount --bind /some/directory/file1 /home/ftp/file1, this
works when I browse my system, but when I try and access the
directory from the net, I get permission denied. I'm puzzled,
has anyone done this before ??
Yes, someone has done it before:

But that doesn't really help since no one answered them. :)
Is the ftp server configured with the equivalent set of permissions that you
use whn you are browsing your system? In other words, are the permissions on
the mounted file system you are trying to access such that proftpd can also
access them?

Checked permissions, all files and directories have read permission, I
did sudo chmod -R a+r /media/hdb/ubuntu just to make sure.
still the same problem. This is what puzzles me, the permissions seem
correct, I mounted it in the directory (which you can see on the ftp
site) but get denied when trying to access it from the net. can access
it in the directory on this computer, just not the net. So wondering if
there is something I need to specify in the proftpd.conf file.
