This is an extract from proftpd menual:
---
Syntax: DefaultRoot directory [group-expression]
Default: DefaultRoot /
Context: server config,VirtualHost
Compatibility: 0.99.0pl7 and later
The DefaultRoot directive controls the default root directory assigned
to a user upon login. If DefaultRoot is set to a directory other than
"/", a chroot operation is performed immediately after a client authenticates.
This can be used to effectively isolate the client from a portion of the
host system filespace. The specified root directory must begin with a / or
can be the magic character '~'; meaning that the client is chroot jailed
into their home directory. If the DefaultRoot directive specifies a
directory which disallows access to the logged-in user's home directory, the
user's current working directory after login is set to the DefaultRoot
instead of their normal home directory. DefaultRoot cannot be used in
Anonymous configuration blocks, as the Anonymous directive explicitly
contains a root directory used for Anonymous logins.

so, if you have a line in your /etc/proftpd reading:
DefaultRoot ~/public_html ftpusers,!wheel
thouse who belong to ftpusers will be chroot jailed to ~/public_html, thouse
who belong to group whell will not.
hope this helps.
