FTP Protocol Configuration
These instructions use pure ftpd and can be installed through YaST. Depending on the FTP server
you use, the configuration might be different.
If you have created your install root (source directory) within your FTP root, you can forego the
following procedure and simply start pure ftpd.
The default configuration of pure ftpd runs in chroot jail, so symlinks cannot be followed. In order to
allow FTP access to the install root created outside of the FTP root, you must mount the install root
directory inside of the FTP root.
If you have not created your install root within your FTP root and you choose to use this protocol:
1 Create a directory inside of your FTP root.
2 Run the following command:
mount --bind /path_to_install_root /path_to_directory_in_ftp_root
For example,
mount --bind /tmp/OES /srv/ftp/OES
3 (Optional) If you want to make this install root permanent, add this command to the
file.
fstab
4 Start pure ftpd.
HTTP Protocol Configuration
These instructions use Apache2 as provided by SLES 10.
If you choose to use this protocol:
1 Modify the
default-server.conf

root with the following command:
