This is an example of what I have used to mount a harddrive in the past:

Hi I tried that output was
mount -o bind /tmp/mnt/sdb1/ftp /mnt/ftp /ftp
cd /mnt
/tmp/mnt# ls
sda2 sda3 sdb1 sdc1
no error messages but as you can see ftp still doesn't show

You can see current mounts by running just the mount command with no arguments.

I would use the format I just provided.
If you want the same point mounted to several locations, in your case /mnt/ftp and /ftp, run the command twice, only changing the last argument.

Mount will not show an error or success message, you can only tell if it mounted correctly by issuing a mount command:

Yes I do also generally use the mount command, but you can I think also check in your /tmp/mnt directory (or use df) to see if it's there..

I sort of got it working in MC but MC as a sim link
but mc can't write to root therefore the link doesn't show
in the web going under nas
