Hi guys,
I've been trying to create a symbolic link from one user directory to
another, but get errors when trying to get that file via ftp. What I'm
trying to do is create a symlink for a ISO file from  /home/user1  to
/home/user2, and doing  "ln -s /home/user1/file.iso
/home/user2/file.iso"  When I do a ls -la, it shows it as a symlink, and
it points to the correct file, but when I ftp to my server and try and
retrieve it, it gives me a error 550, not found. Anyone know what I'm
doing wrong? Thanks!
