Is there anybody knows how this can be done? Anonymous logins on ftp chroot() the environmetn to /usr/ftp, so the system can't see anything else. You should copy your data into the ftp userspace and not use a hardlink since that will create a hole in the protection. Softlinks won't work since / has been redefined; as far as the ftp server is concerned, / is what /usr/ftp/ is in the normal space.
