create chroot
 
what does it mean to creat a chroot "jail" for an ftp user

Same like a sandbox. The user's directory appears to him to be root directory. He cannot see outside of it.

This article should help:

Hi,
CHROOT is nothing but locking the user to there home directory .They never have permission to move out of there home directory

Quote:

vsftpd.conf

# You may specify an explicit list of local users to chroot() to their home
# directory. If chroot_local_user is YES, then this list becomes a list of
# users to NOT chroot().
#chroot_local_user=YES
