You can't do that. ftpd uses chroot, which effectively sets the root directory for anonymous ftp sessions. So you cannot link to anything outside of the root directory for ftp. What you can do instead is change the root directory of ftp to be something else. Then do the symlink that way. I've simplified the process, but that should get your started. -- Dan Langille - DVL Software Limited The FreeBSD Diary - http://www.FreeBSDDiary.org/freebsd/ NZ FreeBSD User Group - http://www.nzfug.nz.freebsd.org/ The Racing System - http://www.racingsystem.com/racingsystem.htm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
