I have an old site for a client that is still on d5 that I've just moved on to aegir. My client has image galleries that use the import function of the image module. I don't yet have any FTP setup for the client on aegir. I'm hosting on slicehost with ubuntu 9.04. What's the best way to set this up?
Thanks in advance!

setup an symlink to an ftp folder
Can't you just setup a symlink that is inside there sites/example.com directory to an ftp folder you setup?
That way when/if you migrate to a different folder, your symlink will move too and you wont have to make any changes to your ftp setup since your not actually moving the ftp folder.
That would work, would it
That would work, would it matter if the files are ftp'd by a user other than aegir? would I have to make the ftp user part of the www-data? I'm still a little green at this server admin type stuff. :-)
How does the import function work?
I guess I'm not sure.
How does the "import function of the image module" work? Does it copy all the images from a directory into an image folder? Or does it just create nodes pointing at the images.
If it copies the images, then www-data would just need to have read access to the ftp folder. If its the other way... I dont know :).
I think it copies them over
I think it copies them over from a "temp" folder. I'll give it a try.
