Embedded FTP Server: manage virtual directory

Having a Java embedded Apache-Mina FTP Server, how do I set-up virtual directories for users (and/or as a home directory)?

For example, I want to have a virtual home directory for a user, this directory should have 2 virtual ones that point to "real" folders, as follows:
VirFolder1 -> /Users/somePath/Documents
VirFolder2 -> /Users/somePath/Dev

I found no clear documentation regarding it, I tried tinkering with the FileSystemFactory interface, but it's not obvious where to go from there.

Have you considered creating symbolic links in the filesystem?

Both Windows and Unix should support this.

For Windows you would use the mklink command if on Windows 7 and above, or download Sysinternals junction for XP and Vista.

If you need to do it programmatically be careful as this would be a great way to look at files and directories a user shouldn't have access to if your code is hacked.
