chroot FTP access to plugins directory.. playing up.

  • Hi,

    I’m on version 3.0.4 and have created a virtual FTP user who I have chrooted to /var/www/<mysite>/wp-content/plugins. I’ve done this so I can use the FTP upload functionality on the plugins directory only and don’t have to faff about changing permissions on files that are outside the above directory.

    I think i can see my problem, I’m just not sure how to fix it.. the problem is the ftp function is looking for a certain directory layout:

    Unable to locate WordPress Content directory (wp-content).

    I’m guessing this is because its expecting to be chrooted to the root of the blog rather than the plugins directory? Is it possible at all for me to change a parameter or override the FTP base directory so that I don’t have to open the whole blog installation up to this virtual user?

    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Andy.

    My apologies, I asked before I finished reading… I had to set the following three constants:

    define(‘FTP_BASE’, ‘/’);
    define(‘FTP_CONTENT_DIR’, ‘/’);
    define(‘FTP_PLUGIN_DIR’, ‘/’);

    Thanks,
    Andy.
