Permissions and directories

[Tim B <ap...@law.com>]

Hi again,

 I have a question. I have am running 1.3.19 
and Proftp. I have several users that when they 
log into ftp they can go above the public_html 
directory, they can go into the root as well. 
They cannot change anything but can still see 
it. How can I limit them on ftp to where they 
cannot go above there public_html directory?

/home/anyname/public_html  I do not want them 
to be able to ftp and see or have access to any 
other dir then public_html

All thoughts appreciated.

Tim
