sym links

[Scott Renna]

Gave it a shot, however, I still get a message that the link is a
directory.  It is not allowing me to "unlink" the symlink.  Any other
suggestions?

I can try to wean them on to another ftp client, see how receptive they
are...wondering why windows can't see symlinks..

Change the the dir in which the symlink is located
and do 'unlink linkname' ...

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.

Seems strange. Do they have permissions on the
linked dir?

Perhaps they are using a Microsoft brower-based
FTP. It doesn't seem to "see" symlinks. Can you
wean them to a real client?
