Anonymous ftp

Hi,

I have set up an anonymous ftp account on our 2100 server
running OSF/1 (or DEC Unix) V3.2. No problem in accessing
the world readable files place under the ftp directory.

The question I have got is how can I make files under a different
directory tree be accessed by this anonymouos account.

I set up a soft link
  
# ln -fs /data /utility/ftp/pub/data

where /utility/ftp is the default directory for the ftp account,
to point /utility/ftp/pub/data to the real data directory tree /data.

But when I, during the ftp session, do
cd pub/data, or ls to it, I always get

   550 /data: No such file or directory.

But I can surely access /data from a normal interactive account.

Does anyone have any idea of what has gone wrong?

Thanks.
Peter Chiu
