Bifur

I just came across this after setting up a Ubuntu 18.04 VM for the sole purpose of being a FTP server (proftpd). I mounted my FTP root from the unraid array into the VM via fstab. I believe I have it working like I want it (I have 3 separate FTP users that each have a dedicated FTP root folder). The main thing is running into permissions and having the SMB side being able to interact with the FTP files that are being uploaded. It's working, but still need to investigate if I have the permissions in most efficient way. Anyway, I just wanted to know if this is pretty much the same thing except it runs directly from the Unraid linux environment? Would there be any pros or cons to using this over the VM I setup? Unraid is only 6 days old to me so I am still learning the system and just came across this. Thanks!
