Haven't played with Panther Server.  Your FTP server may not be able to
correctly traverse symlinks if anonymous access is chrooted and the
symlink target is outside of the chrooted directory.  Go back and start
with a real uploads directory (not a symlink), check the ownership and
permissions, etc.
