Needing to link a SMB share directory to a empty directory with a FTP share. There is a empty directory inside of FTP_Share1 called smbshare which I am trying to link to SMB_Share1 to access all of those directories/files.[root@freenas /mnt/Mike_Volume]# ls -l                                          total 37                                                                        drwxrwxrwx   5 root  FTPgrp   5 Jul 12 12:18 FTP_Share1                         drwxrwxrwx   3 root  wheel    3 Jun 26 21:42 NExtCloud_Share1                   drwxrwxr-x   2 root  Shares   2 Jun 26 11:28 NFS_share1                         drwxrwxr-x  10 root  Shares  10 Jul  9 22:19 SMB_Share1                         drwxr-xr-x   7 root  wheel    7 Jun 26 15:48 jails                              [root@freenas /mnt/Mike_Volume]##ls -l FTP_Share1total 19                                                                        drwxrwxr-x  4 mike  FTPgrp  5 Jul 12 10:36 Mike                                 drwxrwxrwx  5 mike  FTPgrp  5 Jul 11 16:20 Support                              drwxrwxrwx  2 root  FTPgrp  2 Jul 12 12:24 smbshare                             [root@freenas /mnt/Mike_Volume/FTP_Share1]#smbshare is a new empty directory.So i have tried using#ln -s /mnt/Mike_Volume/SMB_share1 smbsharethis creates the symbolic link successfully[root@freenas /mnt/Mike_Volume/FTP_Share1]# ls smbshare                         SMB_Share1                                                                      [root@freenas /mnt/Mike_Volume/FTP_Share1]# ls smbshare/SMB_Share1              AmazonCloud             Downloads               dos stuff                       DRIVERS                 Tools                   virtuals                        Disk-Images             WinImagePortable                                        [root@freenas /mnt/Mike_Volume/FTP_Share1]#and you can cd or list the files within that symbolic link however when you attempt to FTP client it does not think that SMB_Share1 is a valid directory or even exists{FTP DATA}CWD /smbshare/SMB_Share1  CWD /smbshare  Transferred 98 bytes in 0.008 seconds  CWD /smbshare/SMB_Share1/  **550 /smbshare/SMB_Share1/: No such file or directory**  PWD  257 /smbshare is the current directory  PASV  And windows FTP thinks its just a shortcut which does nothing but tries to download the link , either way i cannot access the files i need on the SMB_Share1 through FTP using ln -s command.  Any ideas?
how do i link one directory to another directory so that FTP or SMB share can still use that directory
symlink;ln;shared folders
