It depends....
what ftp server are you running?
berkeley ftp?
find a better daemon
proftpd?
add the line
DefaultRoot ~
and they can't leave their home directories.
wu-ftpd
wu-ftpd
Put all the users in some uid range ( give them UID's starting
at 5000 (for example). Then if there are 500 of them, put the line
restricted-uid 5000-5500
in your /etc/ftp/ftpaccess file or sometimes /etc/wu-ftpd/ftpaccess
or sometimes /etc/ftpaccess .
I don't really know what else is out there for linux.
hope this helps.
