A working approach for you may be to change the home directory of the user named "ftp" to the directory to which you have the symlink. I do this for my computer: All my ftp files are in a directory with some monstor path. For security reasons ftp daemons are not supposed to follow symlinks (I think), so I could not link /home/ftp to my said monster path. Instead, I edited ftp's entry in /etc/passwd, changing home home directory field to the path appropriate to my files. Maybe that helps? Good luck, Matt
