How do I change the default ftp folder in Mac OS X 10.6?
- by Wild_Eep
I'm running WordPress 2.9.1 from a Mac running 10.6.3. WordPress is installed to the /Library/WebServer/Documents folder.
WordPress has a feature called Auto Update. Clicking an auto update button will download and install updated versions of the WordPress software, or third-party plugin tools. It's a convenient way to keep things up to date.
WordPress uses FTP to download the files. I've enabled FTP and set up a user account and opened the requisite ports in my firewall for FTP traffic.
This doesn't seem to be enough for my self-hosted installation, though.
I'm sure this feature was originally designed for someone who has access to a remote shared webserver, and that it's merely a configuration challenge related to the FTP setup.
I feel that if I can adjust the initial directory that the FTP service presents to the AutoUpdate feature, everything else will work properly.
So, my question is, how do I adjust what folder is presented when a given user connects to a Mac running 10.6.3 via FTP?
