I have a computer running Mac OS X Server 10.1 and I can't figure out how to get to the root level of the hard disk when connecting via FTP. I have tried connecting using different administrator accounts but regardless I cannot connect cd out of my home directory. I can cd to anywhere via SSH but not with FTP.
When FTPing to my 10.2 computer I have no problem getting anywhere. Does anyone know how to fix this in 10.1 server? Thanks.

That's a security feature.
Don't know how to bypass. I think you can do something, but don't know the specifics.

I always use protection when fscking my Mac... Do you?

There might be a file named ftpchroot in /etc
This file should contain the name of the users on the machine that are restricted to their home folder when FTPing on the machine. Deleting the appropriate names should do the trick.
Note that this is how it works on OS X Client with the default FTP server, so that might not be the case on your configuration.
I hope it helps though...

The file doesn't exist. There's an ftpusers file but that says it only lists the users that are denied ftp access. I kind of need ftp access to the webserver directory which is /Library/WebServer/Documents. I guess I could move the directory though.

MacOSXS 10.1 uses a different FTP server; the relevant files are in /Library/FTP.

I would think that the absolute simplest approach - and one that doesn't modify any system files - would be to simply create a symbolic link in your home directory to the directory tree you are interested in.
That way you don't risk mucking up anything.

That was the first thing I tried. I get permission denied when I try to cd out of my home directory.
