Chapter 7 Working with FTP Service 11 9
Users access other FTP share points through symbolic links in the FTP root. As always,
access to FTP share points is controlled by user access privileges.
For users to access their home folders, the share point where the folders reside must
be congured to be shared using FTP, as shown in the following illustration:

If you change the FTP root, the symbolic link in a user’s home folder reects that
change. For example, if you change the FTP root to /Volumes/Extra/NewRoot/,
the symbolic link created in the user’s home folder is named NewRoot.
