Subject:   allowing access to a single directory

Hi all,

    I want to allow an anonymous FTP user to see
a directory in another slice, so I put a symbolic
link to it.  But then anyone could access my
entire file system by appending combinations of
"../" to a path name; e.g. "ls share/../".  Is
there a way to stop this by only allowing access
to the linked directory and nothing more?

Thanks in advance.

Walter
