hi 

i use wu-ftpd (2.6.1 currently) which doesnt allow
users to go beyond the directories they are allowed
to. They are restricted to their ftp dir.

on my setup, the user's shell on /etc/passwd  is set
to /bin/false and the home dir set to the ftp
directory. Of course, /bin/false should be added to
your /etc/shells file.

on my /etc/ftpaccess file, i add the user's name on
the entry 'guestuser username'. by default, users
listed on this line is chrooted only to their
directory.
