The best way to serve files from your ftp dir is to make your (ftp dir=gopher dir). Barring that the easiest way is to use symbolic links, but they may not want to run the server that way. It is also possible to compose a link entry that will point at an anon ftp entry. You do not give a gopher below so I cannot give you the exact entry. On some versions of UNIX this will not work at all. Here is a link entry (sort of): # Name=ASCII ART Gopher Type=1 Port=70 Host=wwa.com Path=ftp:ftp.wwa.com@/pub/Scarecrow/ # Believe me, it really would be better to do it the other way. It would be really simple for them to recompile.
