wordpress & ftp

[inkuyo]

I have the CS407 with the latest firmware. I installed wordpress in the web directory and all works great EXCEPT I cannot use the internal updating for plug ins.

Where I am stuck is adding the FTP information for the directory where wordpress is located. cs407/web/redonegreen/wordpress.

Wordpress asks for the FTP information, user, password. But even after turning on FTP I cannot access the web directory. Is there any way to access the web directory via FTP?

I got this from this board.. this was made by supposedly one of the wp developers. Has not yet worked for me but you can give it a try.

without virtual host:

define('FTP_BASE', '/web');
define('FTP_CONTENT_DIR', '/web/wp-content');
define('FTP_PLUGIN_DIR', '/web/wp-content/plugins/'

with virtual host:

define('FTP_BASE', '/web[/virtualhostdir]');
define('FTP_CONTENT_DIR', '/web[/virtualhostdir]/wp-content');
define('FTP_PLUGIN_DIR', '/web[/virtualhostdir]/wp-content/plugins/');

I tried using a package which should enable webshare but that did not work either. The idea is to share folders such as web to applications such as wordpress.. but the package was made for a older range of syno's and has not yet been updated.

Is that code suppose to go in the config.php file? Or some other where?

Okay, found the code here: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=13208

How to restrict a unix ftp user to its home directory? I want to restrict one ftp user so that it cannot access any other directory on the server other than the home directory assigned to it. It should have full access to its home directory and all its sub-directories. Any help is greatly appreciated.
