[users@httpd] FTP and Virtual directory
Hello
I have 2 little questions:
1- How we can create FTP site in Apache, as we can create in IIS
(Microsoft).
2- How we can create Virtual Directory in apache, and what is the
purpose of it?
Thanks

Information about your environment, and how it was created would help a
great deal.
An ftp server is totally separate from an http server. But for an http
server to be useful, it pretty much has to have an ftp server on the
same box, to allow the uploading of the web page files.
Linux distributions come with ftp servers. The challenge is to determine
a) if it is running, b) if not, is it installed or c) how to install it.
And you want it to run automatically when you start the system.
Virtual directories in Apache are entries in the configuration files. In
version 2.x they are now placed in Vhosts.conf. Where this file is
located depends on your install. In Linux it may be in /etc/http/conf/vhosts
They map domain names to physical directories on the server. In this
way, many domains can be hosted on the same server, and the Virtual
Directory entries tell Apache where to get the files for each domain.
A simple entry might be:
NameVirtualHost *
<Virtual Host www.domainname.com>
DocumentRoot /home/someusername/www/www.domainname.com
ServerName www.domainname.com
</VirtualHost>
NameVirtualHost tells Apache to accept every domain. This is not
adequate in a public host, since it does not deal with requests for
non-hosted domains.
The VirtualHost directive tells Apache to map the domain to the directory.
Apache must have a <Directory> directive to include /home/*/www
otherwise it will refuse to access files in the home directory and raise
a permission error. The directories must be readable by anyone, and
writable by 'someusername' the account owner.
The ftp server should be set to allow access based on account name,
'someusername' so users can only access their own directories.
Hope this helps.

What about virtual domains.

I don't know how you do it in IIS, but Apache is an HTTP-server. To run an FTP-server,
you could use e.g. vsftpd.

There are several FTP servers on Linux already. VSFTP is the one I use in
Fedora
Virtual directory allows you to multiple sites that appear to be the only one
on the server. It makes for a more secure hosting environment. My favorite
control panel to use on a web server is Ensim Pro. It does most of the dirty
work for you.
