Topic: Webshare - mapping to user directory

[Rien]

Hi all,

I've installed webshare. It works, but now I want users to be able to go to there own "home" directory via webshare.
I changed  "/opt/webshare/[webshare name]/conf/config.inc.php"

I changed

$home_directory         = "./files/";
in
$home_directory         = "/home/e-smith/files/users/[username]/home/";

but that didn't work.

I there another way to map a user's home-diretory to a webshare?

Hi Rien,

I am also very interested in being able to access one's user directory rather than having one for webshare and one for user. Have you or anyone else come up with a solution?

Thanks in advance,
Marian

Hi Marian,

I haven't found a solution that does both.

I now use "Oliver" to access user directories/ibays (in combination with smeserver-remotuseraccess from Dungog).
I use Webshare for shared directories.

See this discussion: Oliver (formerly Webshare)

Thanks Rein, I will read the post you recommended and try something similar. I hope that next version of webshare gives you an option to link to the user directory.
