Hi,
I need to use 'ln' to create a symbolic but the server (2) won't allow it through FTP.
What could I do?
Thanks

What is "in"? I've never heard of that, and I've heard of alot of things. Do you mean you want to create a symbol? Like a graphic symbol? O, and usually you don't have to specify server, most of the time we can tell what server you are on by just looking at you
, /me looks at 89% of frihost and says ahhh...."Server (2) users "!i've never heard of creating symbolic links thru FTP (sorry!!!)... and i'm not very sure you can create it in DA as well...

"ln" is the *nix command for creating symbolic links to files.
And that should normally be possible only through shell, not ftp.
I'm curious as to which script requires having to do that to install it.
Is there no workaround listed at their site ?
An very large number of hosts don't provide shell access for security reasons, so this cannot be an isolated case with this script.
That's 'ELL - EN' not 'EYE - EN' 
For the curious (as it's unlikely to be possible through anything but a shell command/script):
