I'm using RAQ4i. I would like to give one user
access via ftp to other directory outside his home directory.
So I create a symbolic link that point to that directory and
open the permissions on this directory.

For example the dir:
/home/sites/site1/users/username/symbolic-link-to-home-other
is symbolic link to:
/home/other

The user can't access to:
/home/sites/site1/users/username/symbolic-link-to-home-other
the ftp client try to download the file "symbolic-link-to-home-other"

Is it possible to workaround this ?
Dose any modification on the ftp server needed ?
