Can I use ProFTPd without using a
chroot jail (thereby preventing access to anything outside of the FTP root)? I have a requirement to have symlinks in my FTP source that point to locations outside of the directory where I root my FTP service.
All of the docs and discussion I've read on ProFTPd talk about how to use the chroot functionality (even within StackExchange), but I'm wondering if I can bypass using that and use a different method to serve my FTP root. Since the symlinks must remain as symlinks, mounting the directories as a way of bypassing the chroot restriction (the clever "solution" to the problem) does not work.
