Proftpd question

[Jayson Smith]

A few questions.
First, the link is a symbolic link.  Would making it a hard link fix the
problem?  How do you make a hard link?
Also, is there a way to find out, in numeric terms, the permissions of a
file or directory?  Keeping up with what 755, rwx--r--r or whatever, etc.
means when compared to each other is a bit difficult for me at times.
Jayson.
