I have configurated the VSFTTP server with virtual users...
In the vsftpd.conf:
virtual_use_local_privs=YES
user_config_dir=/etc/vsftpd_user_conf
....
...

in the virtual user configuration file /etc/vsftpd_user_conf/Tom I have the following lines:

anon_world_readable_only=NO
write_enable=YES
anon_opload_enable=YES
local_root=/home/tomcat/DubApps/Myapplication/WEB-INF/

this works good and when "Tom" logged in the VSFTPD redirect them to the /home/tomcat/DubApps/Myapplication/WEB-INF/ directory..

My question is how to restrict the access to some sub directories of /home/tomcat/DubApps/Myapplication/WEB-INF/. met other words TOM must not be allowed to access al the subdirectories of "local_root"..

can someone help my with this...?

thanks in advance
