Accessing a hard drive via ftp

[VRay]

I have run out of space and have added a new hard drive. I'd like this drive to be storage for my proftp server, for uploading and downloading. I tried making a link to it but no luck. Anyone able to help me out? The drive is mounted and accessable locally...

What do you mean you created a link to it? AFAIK you generally cannot mount a filesystem that is accessible only via ftp, http or any such protocol. That's why there's the nfs filesystem to operate on tcp/ip networks. This wouldn't be linux if there wasn't somebody how ran into the same problem as you did an started coding :).
The ftpfs (http://ftpfs.sourceforge.net/) provides a kernel patch to actually mount filesystems over an ftp connection just as you would mount a local disk. This program, however, is very much beta software and I don't recommend using it for critical data.
