I want to setup ftp on my home server running debian 5.0
I found this guide and have read it carefully.
Virtual Hosting With PureFTPd And MySQL (Incl. Quota And Bandwidth Management) On Debian Lenny | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials
Before I install/config it I want to know if its possible to.
Give my dad access to some files located under /mnt/lager/
Without giving him read or write access to the hole system.
If I jail system users to home directory's I cant symlink to /mnt/lager
Is there any way of doing this. I thought with virtual pureftp users this is configurable. I cant find anything in there about it.
Any tips or ideas before I start experimenting.

Well I solved my issue now.
I have jailed a pure ftp user to his home folder and I have mount bound a folder to his home folder and he only has read access there.
mount --bind /mnt/lager/stuff /home/fred/stuff
and under /mnt/lager/stuff the ftp user fred only has read privileges
