chown and chgrp work on directories as well as files.
If you want the user to only be able to see files in their home directory
(i.e. not even read anything else outside) then you probably want to look at
the chroot capability of ftpd - see the chroot(1) manpage for a description of
what it does, and the ftpd manpage for how to configure it for ftp logins.
