    Hi!

    My 10.3.? server has ftp active. My users (in the OD Master) have a home dir set up in a specific subfolder.

    When logging in through afp, smb or ssh, everything is fine. But through ftp, symlinks in their home directories are not see through ftp.

    I’ve set up ftp service to allow them to see ftproot and Sharepoints and they seem to be able to navigate manually to the folders the links point to.

    They are relative links, not absolute. And actually, a symlink pointing to a folder right next to it does not work. It look something like:

     ->  -> r-xr-x   1 teacher  staff         5 Feb 15 21:01 test/Users/teacher/Stuff
    

    where test is the name of the link and /Users/teacher/Stiff is what the link points to. Even if the link is seen as pointing with a relative path, it looks absolute here…

    But in an ftp client like Transmit or the command line, it looks like above. In explorer, links simply do not show up!

    Any ideas? Does the ftp server in 10.3 support links at all?

    thx!

    – arby
