Re: (fedora) vsftp and dodgy permissions

I'm setting up a new server at the moment and I'm trying to get FTP working so I
don't have to SSH as much (I use webdrive in Windows) but I've come across a st
range problem.

Now, before anyone starts a-rantin' I know I shouldn't be using root for this st
uff anyway, but I'm just doing it while I get set up.

Anyway, the problem is;

When I ssh I can see all files and folders with root.
When I ftp I can't see certain folders. /var/ and /etc/httpd/ specifically.
've ssh'd into both my servers to check permissions and they're both the same f
or those directories and yet one works while the other doesn't. Anyone know of a
n explanation?

The old server, which works perfectly, is running Fedora Core 2 pretty much out
of the box.
The new server, which doesn't work properly, is running Fedora Core 5 out of the
box.

The conf files are exactly the same between the servers. It's vsftpd that I'm ru
nning on both, so essentially it should be the same.

Any ideas why the ssh and ftp would behave differently accessing files with the
same username and password?

On my FC5 machines I noticed that I can only access files on the
root-partition ( / ). Files located on any other partition seem to be
unaccessible.
