Thanks in advance.
a softlink should be exported from the ftp server just like a normal directory. have you checked that the softlink does in fact point somewhere real, and that the ftp server supports them? some servers will just ignore symbolic links. if the server is performing a chroot, the softlink might be made invalid by a user of the server, but will work just browsing the file system.
