Ice-9:
I never set up an ftp server in Linux, but from what I remember setting up Bulletproof FTP server in Windows, I assume in lInux too you can assign one or more directories to a particular account.
the account then only has access to the dirs you assign to it.

ummmmmmm..... i think you must chroot the person into a certain directory. "man chroot" but it basically makes whatever directory you want be the users "root" directory, so they cannot go any further down than where you chroot them. you might create a directory like /var/www/usrs/bob and chroot bob into that directory.

well... you may not want to use chroot.

The "man" command will show the manual page for whatever command you put after "man" so "man chroot" will show the manual page for chroot.

You dont want to chroot the directory though or you would have to move any executables that you want the user to run (such as "ls") you would have to put in the directory that is chrooted.

you might want to search google for documentation on FTP servers.
