This is probably *REALLY* odd (an incredibly simple to answer)..
I need to set up a SECURED FTP server. No problem, right? Well, I want to give users (and myself when I'm at work) access to most, if not all of the files I've got on a samba share.
From what I can tell, I need an FTP daemon that supports virtual users (as not to conflict with the permissions already set on the shared directory (right?), and then create symlinks to the samba directory from the ftp home directory..
Only problem is, I can't figure out how to make it so the symlink is read by the ftp client properly and forwards the user to the correct directory..
Ideas? I'm currently using vftpd (based on openBSD's ftp daemon), and Redhat 7..
~DR~
