Hello, I have this problem with FTP that maybe someone can help me with.. I have a multi-homed Zope v2.5 site on Redhat v6.0, and I've made the root non-anonymous so customers that logged-in via FTP does not see others-account-website directory. Since FTP does not seems hooked-up to use VirtualHostMonster, everybody must pass by the root and then cd into-their-own-directory. When I FTP-in I have this weird behavior that I cannot explain myself.. the first time I go: ftp> cd /MySite I get: 550 No such directory. then the second time: ftp> cd /MySite 250 CWD command successful. then I go: ftp> ls 227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,1,11,15,135) 550 Could not list directory. and the second time I pass the command it works!! ftp> ls 227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,1,11,15,136) 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list d--------- 1 Zope Zope 0 Feb 4 22:33 .. This baffles-me.. every second command passes but the first fails. Where is the state machine that makes a command not pass throu the same path two times in a row? Anybody would tell-me where to look for? The exact internal error seems to be 503 instead of the advertised 550 one. I'm using LoginManager for acl-users and it seems the first command does not hit my acl-users at all but the second does. oh well, if I define my ftp roles for every domain on the top folder, it seems to resolve the problem.. but then it gives-me a security tabs page of 1MBytes to manage all over the place.. so, I would prefer to use local roles. for sure.. Also in the same vein, while I'm at it.. I have another problem with my setup.. let say I have: / site1 www site2 www With my virtual hosts pointing to the www level. Customers can go like: www.site1.com/site2/www and they kind of "can" the other's customer's site!! How can I block "inheritance" in this case? Thanks very much for any comments, suggestions..
