I was attempting to allow a user to get some files via ftp from my FreeBSD 4.7 box using the ftp client built into MS Internet Explorer 6 (IE). I created a guest account and set the shell to /sbin/nologin. That appears to work fine. Then I created a symlink to the directory that contains the files for the user but the symlink doesn't appear in the files list in IE. All of the .files that were created by the adduser script do show. My directory looks like this: -rw-r--r-- 1 guest guest 771 Jan 12 18:07 .cshrc -rw-r--r-- 1 guest guest 255 Jan 12 18:07 .login -rw-r--r-- 1 guest guest 165 Jan 12 18:07 .login_conf -rw------- 1 guest guest 371 Jan 12 18:07 .mail_aliases -rw-r--r-- 1 guest guest 331 Jan 12 18:07 .mailrc -rw-r--r-- 1 guest guest 801 Jan 12 18:07 .profile -rw------- 1 guest guest 276 Jan 12 18:07 .rhosts -rw-r--r-- 1 guest guest 852 Jan 12 18:07 .shrc lrwxr-xr-x 1 root guest 54 Jan 12 18:09 Files -> /ftp/guest Is there something I can do to get the symlink to show in IE? My user is very green and trying to teach him how to use an ftp client is something I'd rather avoid.
