FTP & SMB on the same folder with plesk 11.09 on Ubuntu

[ChrisLim]

I'm wondering if it is possible to configure an FTP account with a root folder that is also accessible via SMB/Samba share over the internal network interface on one of our plesk web servers. It looks like in version 8/9 there was a "module" for this. I don't see it in the "application list" for the current version of plesk. Searching this forum has yielded no fruit. Is there an application/addon/module/extension available for this version that allows me to do this?

If not, my other option would be to install SMB manually and configure the directories shared on it manually.

The first step to doing this would be to find the directory that plesk actually stores the FTP files in..

Then i run
sudo updatedb
locate 'randomfilenamethatiuploaded'
to find the directory that plesk created for my file.
When i do that, it shows the file located in
/var/www/vhosts/domain/sitefolder/randomfilenamethatiuploaded

however if i try to
cd /var/www/vhosts/domain/sitefolder/
i get permission denied...
sudo cd /var/www/vhosts/domain/sitefolder/
i get an error

This leads me to believe that i couldn't configure this manually without using root or something crazy.

Its possible i could create a symlink to a folder from /home/user/folder to /var/www/vhosts/domain/ but i don't know if that would mess anything up.

Let me know if you have any advise for me.

Thanks
