Access FTP folder from the web server

Postby int15 » Thu Dec 14, 2006 12:15 am

Hi,

Is it possible to access a folder at the same level as the web folder from a directory under web?

For example:

A) In /volume1/web/stream.php : I have some PHP files.
B) In /volume1/mp3 : I have (guess what) mp3 files.

Would it be possible for "stream.php" to access the "mp3" folder? Right now, I have to duplicate the mp3 files in both /volume1/web/stream and /volume1/mp3.

Thanks,

To my knowledge, this is currently not possible (unless you modify/hack your DiskStation (and thereby void warranty and support) to access the web server configuration file). Only files in the /volume1/web directory can be accessed by the web server.

Fair enough. Can we move the thread to the Mod Lounge?

I think that you could modify your apache configuration and add another directory or virtual host so you could access it by a web explorer like this.

anyway you have to enable telnet support!

I finally got it to work, using the "mount" command.

Got the info from this link.

Hi,
How do I FTP "under" down to the root ?
I want to back up my Squeeze config that is here : volume1/@appstore/SqueezeCenter/prefs/

But FTP as admin don't let me go up there, and I can't save files via telnet...

Thanks

I don't know how to do this with ordinary FTP, but you can access the entire file system by using SFTP (SSH FTP). I access this from my TotalCommander (with the SFTP plugin) which I always have with me on a stick. There are other clients which can do this, like FileZilla and SCP.

Do you connect as root or admin ?
And what's the default folder you land in ?

Interesting.
Can you try from DOS for me see if ftp and sftp behave differently ?

I don't have access to root

Connected to 192.168.2.17.
220 myDiskStation FTP server ready.
User (192.168.2.17:(none)): root
530 User root access denied.
Login failed.

SFTP is not FTP. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Trans ... tocol#SFTP :)

If your goal is to access the folder/file from the web server, you must add the folder path to the open_basedir path list. Then you can pull the file with a PHP script. This can be set in DSM control panel under Web services > PHP settings.

My goal is to access the files under volume1/@app for example, from a FTP client.

I've tried SFTP as server type on FileZilla, but no success

Status: Connecting to 192.168.2.17...
Response: fzSftp started
Command: open "root@192.168.2.17" 22
Command: Pass: ********
Status: Connected to 192.168.2.17
Error: Connection closed by server with exitcode 2
Error: Could not connect to server

Do I have to change anything on the Syno config ?
