What I want is to be able to display all files that are ftp'd into /home/ftp in /srv/ftp
/srv/ftp is password protected, and has files in it which I don't want to be accessible from the public ftp.
So as such I wish that all files uploaded to /home/ftp are automatically symbolically linked (or otherwise) to /srv/ftp. Does this make sense?
e.g. ls /srv/ftp
:
file.sh
another.txt
something_else.i386
then a user ftp's and drops a file in /home/ftp (or ssh, or whatever)
ls /home/ftp
:
user_file.mk
ls /srv/ftp
:
file.sh
another.txt
something_else.i386
user_file.mk
I hope this makes sense. I have been told that this can probably be achieved using ln
to create symbolic links, but I don't want to have to ssh in and create the links every time I (or someone else) puts files over ftp.
Thanks! :)
