How do I FTP to my Web Folder?

I don't consider myself a newbie, but I am working on my first Unix thats not OS X. And I have a feeling this is a newbie question I'm asking. I installed MkLinux (redhad based) on my PowerMac 6100 (66 superfast MHz). I got apache up and running, and I can log in and ftp and download and upload files. The problem is my web folder is not under my own user home folder, i tried making a symlink to my own home folder, but I still can't upload to it. And I tried editing apache the web folder really is in my home folder, but then I was having problems because apache didn't like that and was giving my a 403 through my browser. This is a pretty basic thing to wanna do I'm sure, how do you gain ftp access to your web folder?

Hi,

I don't think it's apache here that is your problem. You'dd better look at /etc/ftp/ftpaccess file. Also a cd to "/" should be possible (if you have enough rights). So it's just the way you set it up. If you connect using apache under anonymous of course you get chroot'ed. This is what you want. Else you have got to pen your system. Again, this is under your ftpaccess file.

It might not matter though, I just rebooted and it looks like my filesystem just died.

It fails the disk consistancy check on boot, and tells me to run fsck, when i do, all it says is "Parallelizing fsck version 1.18 (nov01999)" Any thoughts? This totally just happened out of the blue

Regs David
bdf
Command not found

df -kl
/dev/sda7 (is the boot volume)
64% Disk Use
Mounted on '/'

all seems in order there

fsck -m
Parallelizing fsck version 1.18 (11-Nov-1999)
It seems to say that to fsck no matter what I do. Any ideas whats going on with this machine?
