Question Help with FTP access outside domain root

[Sam Jones]

I'm not sure if this is possible so another solution would be great if it is not.
I've had to move my websites images folder onto another storage device as I ran out of disk space.

I have sym-linked the directory on new storage to its original location, updated open_basedir in php to include new location and the website works fine. However, my FTP users can no longer see the contents of this directory.

Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue?

Data was moved with rsync and kept all original permissions.

I suggest to use this solution instead: How to change Virtual Hosts location in Plesk for Unix

Hi can you try this

1. Go to Websites & Domains and click FTP Access.
2. Click the required FTP account name in the list.
3. Update the location in "Home directory"
4. Make the required changes and click OK

Thanks,

Hi,

Did you see ProFTPD: Symlinks and chroot() ?

# grep DefaultRoot /etc/proftpd.conf
DefaultRoot     ~

So, I think do you need mount new storage inside domain root or apply filesystems trick like "mount --bind".
