Absolute path
Hello
Please can you help me with the new 1.0 version x64. I cannot add FTP path for the user, it always need absolute path. Can you write me the example, please?
Thanks a lot

Re: Absolute path
Left column is the absolute, Unix-style FTP path, right column is an absolute native path on the server machine.
For example if you want to e.g. share c:\example\directory\ and make it appear under /example/, put /example/ into the left column and c:\example\directory\ in the right.

Re: Absolute path
hi botg, so we are running or starting to run filezilla server 1.0 on windows machine...based on your post if i have an fqdn path will this work for the absolute path requirement?
Re: Absolute path
Of course you can enter e.g. /www.example.com/ on the left.
Re: Absolute path
Thx for the reply. Maybe I am missing something but I did the following and still seem to get the Absolute Path error. THX
Virtual Path Native Path
/Share/Test/Testdata \\server.example.com\Share\Test\Testdata
Virtual Path Native Path
/Share/Test/Testdata \\server.example.com\Share\Test\Testdata
Re: Absolute path
Apologies for some reason the native path aligned itself right after the virtual path
Re: Absolute path
UNC paths are not supported.
Consider installing an FTP server directly on the machine hosting the UNC share.

Re: Absolute path
got it...thx I cannot install the server since the unc path is a nas BUT I did get around that by creating a connection via a drive then entered the "/" in virtual path.

Re: Absolute path
Seriously?? Why did they remove that functionality? I was running an older version of FileZilla server and had it setup with aliases like /apps = \\server\share$\apps and it worked fine. I just upgraded to the latest server and tried to setup a user the same way and got the path must be absolute error. I can't believe something like this would be removed.
Thankfully, it's not the end of the world thanks to directory based symlinks

Re: Absolute path
Nothing was removed, the server has been rewritten from scratch.
Directory based symlinks and directory junctions are not supported either, getting an error. You can point the physical path to a mapped network drive, however.

Re: Absolute path
Well, regardless, what I was referring to by "removed" was just that UNC had worked fine in the old version but not now. So if it was rebuilt from scratch then yea, it was not "removed", but the same basic result applied.
Symlinks work fine in the new one, not sure what you mean about errors. I have my \\server\share$\apps symlinked to d:\apps\ftp\shares\apps then the user has /apps = that path. Works great, he was on today using it no problem. Dunno if maybe it's relevant, but I don't run FZ as the local system account. I have a domain account "service.ftp" that it runs under and that user is given narrow, explicit permissions to stuff the FTP server needs.

Re: Absolute path
UNC paths support is planned and will be implemented in one of the next releases.

Re: Absolute path
Hello
Thanks a lot all of you, but now I have a problem with Passive mode, there are some changes, because Passive mode is not working?

Re: Absolute path
Please elaborate. What have you configured, what are you expecting, what do you observe.

Re: Absolute path
Hello
During installation it did not find previous version of FileZilla and it did not convert the settings. In the new version there is less settings, also for passive mode.
Thanks
