can't help with the sftp, but one solution to creating the links is
to create a script that checks for them and creates them if they
don't exist. then put it in "/etc/profile.d/" and it will be run when
they run a shell and thus the links will be available to them.
i have several scripts in this area, export.sh, alias.sh, ...
to set common values for each shell.
