We use ncftpd, and, though we don't use the option, I seem to remember one in it that lets you restrict users to their own directories. However, ncftpd is shareware, not freeware. :-< On the other hand, I find it very convenient, to, say, put things in my own directory that other users can get, rather than having to put it up on anonymous. It's also nice to be able to get at /etc from home, and I don't think many people are A) going to try to get there, B) know what to do with the files there, and C) permissions are such that they won't be able to do any damage.
