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.
You could always move the FTP directory to a slice that has room.
Yes, I actually thought of that, but then I'd leave
my (in this case) /usr slice vulnerable to being
filled-up with ... junk. Unless I put in quotas,
I suppose. Hmmm. I'll think on that; but I also
have an HD which I'm not really using.
