Does anyone know if it's possible for the ftp server on a netapp to allow symlinks to point outside the root directory? I realize there are security reasons for normally not wanting this, but I've got a few scattered directories on my filer that I'd like to make available via anonymous ftp, and I'd rather not have to rearrange the data on the filer or make copies of the files. I'd hoped to create an anonymous ftp directory and create symlinks in it to point to the directories I want to make available. However so far that hasn't seemed to work. I've poked around a bit on NOW but haven't found any reference to this possibility.
