Hi,
There are two things you want to check. First, check if the ftp server 
software you are using has a hide symbolic links option. Several do, and 
this would inhibit the link from being shown. Second, and probably more 
likely, does the ftp server chroot you in to your home directory? If 
so, the link wouldn't be shown because it wouldn't work even if it was.
