Hi
I set up proftpd a few minutes ago and finally made it working.
My only problem is that proftpd automatically switches to the Home-Directory of the user, in whose context it's running.
I now want to point the DefaultRoot to /Volumes/EMULE/Music/, a FireWire-Drive connected to my iBook.
Any suggestions how to accomplish this?

I run profftpd myself, Here is a snip from profftp.conf:
code:


ServerName                      "ftp.jale.ath.cx"

ServerType                      standalone

DefaultServer                   on

DefaultRoot                       ~

As you can see, DefaultRoot is set to ~, which basically means that each user will be put in their home-folder. You can change this to whatever you want(As long as it is a valid path in your fs).
If you are allowing guest or anonymous access, you should also be carefull to chroot your webserver. The last time I checked, OS X had problems with this. That was using lukem-ftpd though.
