This is from ftpd(8):
...
5.   If the user name appears in the file /etc/ftpchroot, or the
 user is a member of a group with a group entry in this file,
 i.e. one prefixed with `@', the session's root will be changed
 to the user's login directory by chroot(2) as for an
 ``anonymous'' or ``ftp'' account (see next item).  This facil-
 ity may also be triggered by enabling the boolean ftp-chroot
 capability in login.conf(5).  However, the user must still
 supply a password.  This feature is intended as a compromise
 between a fully anonymous account and a fully privileged
 account.  The account should also be set up as for an anony-
 mous account.
...

 Create a new group, add users to the group (see pw(8) for details),
add `@groupname' to /etc/ftpchroot.
