Filezilla won't follow symbolic links

I'm having some difficulty getting FileZilla to show the contents of a folder that is the target of a symbolic link.



Filezilla folder listing



In the screenshot commonfiles and db_uploads are symlinked folders that show as having permissions of 777, but when I click on either I get this error:



Filezilla error



I can't find any settings in FileZilla that look as if they would change this behaviour.

  • That does not look like problem of FileZilla. It's obviously your FTP server that cannot follow the symlink.

  • I know nothing about Apache, except that I gather it is in fairly wide use. This would seem like a bit of a showstopper ;-). The website can and does accept uploads to that folder, so is it a configuration issue in my case (i.e. Do I hassle the server man?)

  • It has nothing to do with Apache. Apache is HTTP server. This is about FTP server.

  • Doesn't the apache http server have an FTP module? If someone was running an Apache web server and they wanted to provide FTP how would they do it? I don't know. That's the reason for my original question. I. don't. know. I came here looking for constructive help - clearly I'm in the wrong place.

  • FTP and HTTP are unrelated. While Apache has FTP module, it's not really used for managing a website. For that you usually have a separate FTP server. And as we do not know anything about your server, we cannot help you there. A full FileZilla log file may reveal something about the FTP server.

share|improve this question















I'm having some difficulty getting FileZilla to show the contents of a folder that is the target of a symbolic link.



Filezilla folder listing



In the screenshot commonfiles and db_uploads are symlinked folders that show as having permissions of 777, but when I click on either I get this error:



Filezilla error



I can't find any settings in FileZilla that look as if they would change this behaviour.

  • That does not look like problem of FileZilla. It's obviously your FTP server that cannot follow the symlink.

  • I know nothing about Apache, except that I gather it is in fairly wide use. This would seem like a bit of a showstopper ;-). The website can and does accept uploads to that folder, so is it a configuration issue in my case (i.e. Do I hassle the server man?)

  • Doesn't the apache http server have an FTP module? If someone was running an Apache web server and they wanted to provide FTP how would they do it? I don't know.

  • FTP and HTTP are unrelated. While Apache has FTP module, it's not really used for managing a website. For that you usually have a separate FTP server. And as we do not know anything about your server, we cannot help you there. A full FileZilla log file may reveal something about the FTP server.

This is not a FileZilla issue. The 550 error code may indicate that your user has no permission to visit that directory and then the FTP server is blocking the access to it.
Check the directory permission in your server.

        This is not a FileZilla issue. The 550 error code may indicate that your user has no permission to visit that directory and then the FTP server is blocking the access to it.
        Check the directory permission in your server.

            Image
            up vote 0 down vote favorite Good day all. I have a window that pops up saying Fatal Program Failure (AnyDesk). This is what I have done so far: Uninstalled AnyDesk and reinstalled it.

            How to calibrate 16:9 built-in touch-screen to a 4:3 resolution?

            Image
            up vote 0 down vote favorite I need help with an issue we're facing in a project where we are moving from a Windows-based POS environment to one running on CentOS7. The problem consists of a number of factors, please find the details below: The supplier of our POS application will only deliver an application that is hard-coded to run in a 1024:768 4:3 format.

            QoS: MAC-Priority for clients behind a repeater

            Image
            1 1 I've setup a wireless network using a Linksys-Router (DD-WRT) as an AP and a TP-Link repeater for range extension. To manage bandwith for specific users, I've setup QoS-Rules on the AP (DD-WRT) using MAC-Priority: However the AP shows only the Repeater's MAC and the MACs of users inside the AP-Range.

Q: How can I setup MAC-Priority for repeater-clients? Do I simply add the purple MAC in AP-MAC priority list although it's not listed as a client? I want to setup specific priority instead of giving one priority for all clients behind the repeater by adding the repeater's MAC in the MAC priority list in the AP as ...
