It's called a chroot where you change the root of a filesystem for a specific user. Here's a great howto from unix.stackexchange.com

Actually I resolved this problem. Spent some hours resolving problem. The solution was simple: change password of a user with

passwd someuser

The -p parameter of useradd doesn't work as I can see, although it says that it sets encrypted password of a new account.

Sure - put the bind mount in your /etc/fstab. Device is your source directory, mount point is your mount point, and the type is 'bind'.

Something like this:

/var/www/html/ /home/ftp_user/html/ bind rw,bind 0 0
