I want to allow an anonymous FTP user to see a directory in another

my entire file system by appending combinations of "../" to a path

allowing access to the linked directory and nothing more?
Symlinks in anonymous FTP don't work, since anonymous ftp sessions are
chrooted in the home directory of the `ftp' user. You should probably
move the files in ~ftp/stuff and then symlink to ~ftp/stuff from other
parts of your tree.
The /var slice does not have enough space to hold
these files. So it sounds like I need to find
another solution (like move in another HD). Thanks.
