changing home directory


Im using vsftpd and i want users that log on to go to a different directory than home. For example, /FTP/users/userfile. I knew there was a config file but i forgot where it was and i have been looking since yesterday. It is a list of users:
root: ./root/whatever

thats just for example, and i know that if you put a period in front of that directory they cant cd out of it, and that you can also set the directory they log into. I have already changed the vsftpd.conf to put people into FTP when they log on but this is for users who i setup on the computer. Thanks
