VSftpD - change storage dir

hi all,
 
my FTP server has its own dedicated box. what i'd like to do is point vsftpd to store files to another storage server that i have.
can anyone advise me on how to do this?
 
thanks

Make sure that you have configured Vsftp in HC panel from Server Manager -> Edit Server -> Webserver. The default path for vsftp conf file is: /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf

many thanks for your reply but i already know that information. i'm needing specific info on how to direct the data coming in via FTP to a seperate server with a different ip etc.

As far as I know you can't do this from HC panel, as HC require FTP server configuration on same box where web server is running.

oh dear this will cause big problems for me. maybe i explain my setup and you can advise?
 
1 x windows hc8 master server - IIS web server & Mail server
1 x linux hc8 dns server
1 x linux hc8 mysql server
1 x linux hc8 vsftpd server (apache has also been installed on this box so that vsftpd can be configured)
1 x linux hc8 web server php (coming soon)
1 x iscsi NAS (for all storage, web pages, ftp storage etc etc)
 
any advice?
 
 

HC don't support centralize ftp server so there is no need to setup a dedicated box for vsftpd only.
As per our implementation ftp server should be installed on same box where web server role is defined. 
Now if you have Apache1 box then it will entertain ftp request only for same box but not on other remove location machines i.e Windows web and apache2.

currently what i have done is installed apache on my FTP server and mounted my storage drive in unbuntu.
so are you saying this still wont work?
 
if this wont work then i  will have to move my FTP server to my windows box but i have been trying to keep it seperate becuase my windows box is already running IIS, Mail & Coldfusion.
 
 

i'm pretty sure this counts as spamming!
