ftp directory permissions

I have a question on setting permissions or what i think should be setting permissions. I am trying to make it so when a user logs onto the ftp site he/she will not be able to change directories. For example, i do not want them to be able to go up a directory or create a new directory.


Current directory:

/home/user/public_html

I do not want the user to be able to go to:

/home/user (or anywhere below this)

and i do not want them to be able to do something like this:

/home/user/public_html/mystuff

Can someone please help. I just want it so they have to stay in the one SET directory.

Thanks in advance

Lock the users in a folder. You can do it with the config file.
