Question how to enable symlinks in proftpd

[ioweb.gr]

Hi,

Since migrating to plesk onyx my ftp users are not able to view symlinks in their folders. Is it possible to change this behaviour?

I used to use pure-ftpd instead of proftpd and this was working.

Looking at the ProFTPd: ShowSymlinks and the ProFTPd configuration files ('/etc/proftpd.conf', the files in '/etc/proftpd.d/' and the '/etc/xinetd.d/ftp_psa'), symlinks should be visible.

This might be a case of partial FTP client incompatibility.

To instruct ProFTPd to use a different symlink syntax (which is apparently preferred by FileZilla and perhaps other FTP clients), add the following to a new ProFTPd configuration file (e.g. '/etc/proftpd.d/symlink-compat.conf'):

<IfModule mod_facts.c>
FactsOptions UseSlink
</IfModule>

It would be prudent to test several different FTP clients in order to investigate how they handle symlinks before deciding whether to use the above.
