Standard functionality of ftp servers is to not allow users to go
beyond the root file system that is configured when they log in.
If you set the root of the ftp hiearchy to /users/ftp, then nobody
logged in as an ftp user will be able to go to your /users folder.
This is common practice.
If you want users to have access to multiple folders, but not
everything, you'll need to setup groups, and set group permissions to
allow reading only by users in those groups.
If you need assistance figuring out the permissions system, drop a
line off list, and I'll help out.
