files are saved under /opt by default
for easier access to downloads cd into a directory, then make a symlink
cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/data/files/downloads
ls -s /opt/torrentflux/html/downloads
I want to do the above, but with users home-dir instead of an ibay.
I did the following, and the symlink works fine - for root.
ln -s /opt/torrentflux/html/downloads/ben /home/e-smith/files/users/ben/home/torrent
Users see an empty folder, and my best shot is that I have to chown the files in /opt/torrentflux/html/downloads/user to a specific user, while keeping them a part of the www-group (chown -R user:www torrentfluxuserdir). I have had no luck with this though. Is it even possible?
cheers

EDIT: Ok, I only checked if it worked using FTP at first - samba does very well with the symlinks, and user can pull files without any trouble. I'll see if chown'ing the /opt/app/userdata to user:www will allow users to upload files to the server. I'll let you know (and possibly edit the wiki when someone confirms this is a safe thing to do). Cheers again
