FTP - creating links to other boxes

I couldn't find an FTP forum so I hope this is in the appropriate place. I am running RedHat 7.3 and vsftpd, although I think this question would apply, genreally, to any linux ftp server. I used to swap files with pals around the world using Windows, Bulletproof server, and all 3 of my PCs. In short, this is my question: Is there a way to chroot users (particularly in vsftpd) so that they cannot surf my entire hard drive but CAN, still, resolve a link to a folder on another PC. I created a link using: ln -s /mnt/Linuxshare2 /home/ftpdudes and - though the folder is visible - because the users are chrooted to /home/ftpguys clicking on the folder will not resolve the link. I'm very new to Linux - about 8 months. I really don't totally understand chroot but I wondered if there was a way to use chroot to somehow accomplish this. Man, I'm pretty stupid with this stuff....lol. Any suggestins would be appreciated. In Bulletproof it was easy - you designated particular folders, it would resolve links by reading a simple text file, etc.
