Aliases and Paths

This page allows you to configure aliases that the FTP daemon will use when a client issues a cd command. If an alias is defined, in the CD directory aliases section, the Alias name is the directory name that the client can enter, while the Alias to directory field defines to what directory the client will switch to. So, for example, if the Alias name is bin and the Alias to directory is /home/ftp/pub/usr/ local/bin, then when the client enters cd bin he will be directed to /home/ftp/pub/usr/local/bin.

Next comes the CD directory search path. With this option, you can configure-any number of directories that can be in the search path. For example, if a client enters cd bin, and there is no bin directory in the current directory, then the server will check the directories in the search path. If the directory requested exists in one of those directories, the client will be directed there.
