When you log in under anonymous FTP, the ftp daemon effectively does a chroot to ~ftp (a.k.a the home directory for "user" ftp), which I'm guessing is /u2/ftp in this case. If you were doing HTML pointers to Kerry's system, I don't know which pathname you'd use. If the link is through anon ftp, then you should probably drop the "/u2/ftp". FYI, all of the anon ftp pathnames on mathcs.emory.edu actually begin "/public/ftp/pub/informix/...". You never see the /public/ftp when you come in under anon ftp, since that directory equates to "/" when you log in as "anonymous".
