Its done with wu-ftpd, and making the users home directory /usr/home/users/./ and putting something like this in ftpaccess : guestgroup ftpusers then all users in ftpusers would be limited to their home directory(provided they have a /./ at the end) Someone please correct me if im wrong, its been awhile since I set that up.
