Hi,

1)  How does one remove a symlink without removing the directory it is
linking to?
--Normal rm command only removes the symlink. It does not remove the 
directory it is pointing to.

2)  How can you make a symlink for a user so that it can be seen while
they are in an FTP session.  Basically, I have a user who cannot see the
symlink I've set up for them...not sure why.
--AFAIK it is not possible. Even then I suppose it depends on teh ftp 
server.

Regards
SSR
