[wp-testers] setting up the ftp account

[alonzo fretwell]

hi,

i have setup an ftp account on my server for wordpress. i own and manage the
server myself so i have complete control over it. its a debian etch server
with wordpress.deb installation.

i have added a wordpress user to the server for the purpose of facilitating
the ftp sessions. and then added a symbolic link from the wordpess user to
the location of the wordpress files (/usr/share/wordpress) the wordpress
user can access the folder /usr/share/wordpress through the wordpress link
in its home folder but i am still getting "Unable to locate WordPress
Content directory (wp-content)."

the link from the wordpress users home folder to the wordpress files looks
like this "wordpress -> /usr/share/wordpress". i am using a debian specific
wp-config.php that warns against making changes to it.

can i somehow have wordpress follow the link "wordpress ->
/usr/share/wordpress" when it logs in for ftp?

please advise.
