I was going under the assumption Alias still worked the same for mod_ftp as
it did in core.
You'll notice aliasses don't get included in the directory index listing
either. Unless you create a folder :)
Glad it worked out.

awesome,so simple I am upset with myself for not trying it.
I've tried creating url links, lnk links, nothing worked, can't believe I
never thought of it.
Seems to work a treat, must remember to add new directories though, would be
nice for it to happen automatically.

Have you tried creating an empty directory called movies? All I can think
of.
