I haven't done much with vsftpd, but wu-ftpd will *not* follow symlinks
for a chroot'ed user.  It will follow hard links, but not soft links.

What I did for users that need to modify specific web sites on my server
was to define group ownership for the html files, make the user a member
of the group, and then  chroot them to the html directory.  They didn't
have home directories since the only thing they ever did was ftp files
in.  Rather simple but it did the job.
