Question Strange folders in FTP?

[omexlu]

Hi @IgorG and co,

I want to ask why i have these other folders as asual in the FTP account?
That behavour is little strange (new server), normaly there are onlt logs, httpdocs and error_docs:

I use nginx only, there has nothing been changed on configs and chroot is turned off, this behavour is only on few domains, why? Nether changed something on skels.

The subscription has SSH enabled, either a standard shell or the chrooted shell. To operate the shell including some basic shell commands additional directories liek bin, lib, lib64 etc. are needed. This is correct if a subscription grants shell access permissions (SSH access). Nothing to worry about.

I cannot reproduce this behavior. Maybe it is an illusion. Your first screenshot does not show the location to that the FTP user is logged in. What path does it show and does your FTP client screenshot show the current directories? Sometimes software like Filezilla has cached a previous state and you need to "update"/"reload" the directory to show the real folder content.

Have to tried, too, to toggle between chrooted bash and forbidden?

Yes it show this folders even in FTP, i have tried to toogle chrooted bash and forbidden, but still there.

It is very strange because it is not on all subscriptions.

Do the folders have custom content or do they not belong to root or do they have permissions that are non-standard?

Typical setup (# ls -la):

drwx--x--- 17 tester psaserv  4096 Feb 28 23:01 .
drwxr-xr-x 10 root   root    20480 Feb 14 09:58 ..

drwxr-xr-x  2 tester psacln   4096 Nov 26 13:43 error_docs
drwxr-xr-x  2 root   root     4096 Feb 28 23:01 etc

Hi,

These folders will only be created if chrooted has been selected. Normally, the folder / Short Cuts will be deleted if you disable chrooted. But this does not work anymore if something was changed in the chrooted environment / var / www / vhost / chroot. I've written a script that simply removes all folders and files that have the user / group root after saving. You can solve the proplem just as well by simply deleting the corresponding folders and files.

If you then enable and disable the chrooted shell, You See, the folders are created and deletet again.

This effect only occurs with the chrooted shell!
