FTP Change location

Sorry i realised i posted this in the wring location. Please delete the old thread under Linux> Installation/Configuration.

Hi Guys

I am migrating over from Centos 6.6 to Debian Wheezy on a new server.

I have managed to get most things working, except FTP.

On my old server, I ended up changing the directory of /www from /var/www/ to /home/www as I was having space issues.

Learning from my mistakes, /var is now huge. I have emails working and websites working back in there original place, but i cannot change the FTP location from /home/www to /var/www because;

1. Directory not inside of web root directory.

Is this because of the protected folders?

I removed the FTP user and remade, and it still wants to put /home/www

Can anyone suggest where to look?

Kind Regards

Lee

 

Hi Till

I had already tried to change it in sql, and i just tried again - Table ftp_user.

While the change sticks, I cannot still get the directory.

When I log onto ISP, and check, it does show the changed path, but when I press back, it comes up with the same error: Directory not inside of web root directory

 

Oh wow. Thanks. It was the Document root location that helped in the web_domain table.

Now i have a new error

Response: 257 "/" is your current location
Command: TYPE I
Response: 200 TYPE is now 8-bit binary
Command: PASV
Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (***,***,218,77,125,240)
Command: MLSD
Error: Connection timed out
Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing

Is this port for passive problem. I can get into FTP via chrome, but its extremley slow to move around the dirs.

Its fixed now. I added in PassivePortRange file and restarted. Then added firewall rules to mimic.

Thank you so much for the software. Do you accept donations!?
