How do you access it? If with a web browser (as the folder /var/www suggests), it is not possible to access anything out of /var/www. You can move the file to /home/ethan/public_html/Gingy/Pictures/Vol_1 and access it via http://server/~ethan/Gingy/Pictures/Vol_1/b.mp4 Cheers. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
