As TM said, /pub/vim/ on both sites yields a chain of symlinks: ie. /pub -> /vol/1/.CLUSTER/var_ftp/pub
and from there, vim -> editors/vim However, cd editors and ls vim shows: vim -> vim -> ../../site/ftp.oce.nl/pub/vim Going through ../../site/ftp.oce.nl/pub succeeds, and vim -> vim -> ../../../vol/2/vim Finally, cd ../../../vol/2 succeeds, but (the directory is empty) That is confusing! And, unfortunately, in the words of CJCherryh (albeit not applied to this), infelicitous. Happy New Year!
