A working approach for you may be to change the home directory of the
user named "ftp" to the directory to which you have the symlink.
I do this for my computer: All my ftp files are in a directory with
some monstor path. For security reasons ftp daemons are not supposed
to follow symlinks (I think), so I could not link /home/ftp to my said
monster path. Instead, I edited ftp's entry in /etc/passwd, changing
home home directory field to the path appropriate to my files.
Maybe that helps?
Good luck,
Matt
