I think this link covers what you want. You can accomplish #2 with symbolic links. #3 you'll have to set user permissions for the directories in question, I think.

Answer 2

symbolic links may not work properly, because they cannot be followed outside of a chroot jail.

instead, you can just mount the directory you want with the option "--bind" :

# mount --bind /media/shared_drive /home/ftp/pub
