Howdy,

It sounds like what you may want are "Website access users". You can create one of those by going into Edit Mail and FTP Users, and select "Add a website FTP access user". That will create a user who can manage website content.

Just FYI, users can still easily access the home directory, for example with a php or perl script etc

Oh, I think I misunderstood what you wanted... after re-reading your post, it sounds like you want to lock users into their home directories.

You can do that by going into Limits and Validation -> FTP Directory Restrictions.

From there, you can set it up so that FTP users can only access their own homedir.

Some error occurred: Failed to save FTP directory restrictions : The virtual server's home directory option cannot be selected unless the restriction applies to a specific server, in row 1

I'd recommend setting "All Virtual Servers" for the servers to apply to, and using "Users' home directories" for the "Directory to restrict".
