Linux Dir Shortcuts
 
I have a FTP server set up, and I would like to know if there is a way to make a "shortcut" from a users home directory to /var/www/username so they can publish webpages on my webserver. right now in order to do this I have to make their home dir /var/www/username. Is there a way to leave the default home dir, and make a shortcut to the publick dir that I make, and them still have read/write/remove access? Thanks for your help.
