Sounds like you want to look into "chroot".  I've not played with FTP
servers for years, but I do recall reading instructions to chroot when
someone logs in, so they're stuck in a jail that has their homespace at
the top of the tree, with just a few system commands copied to a chroot
jail for them (so they can list files, etc., the usual FTP operations).

Stick chroot and proftpd into a Google search, and see if that gets you
started.
