I think chroot environment help you.

take a look for to create chroot vsftpd

Regards,

chroot_local_user will jail the user in his home directory. In this case the user be jailed to /home/ftpuser1 and the user will not be able to get to /documents.

In order to access this folder I can think of 2 options. You can try either one that suits your needs:

1. Make ftpuser1 the owner of the /documents folder. This will still allow the user to browse through other files on the system
2. Change the default home of ftpuser1 from /home/ftpuser1 to /documents and then chroot_local_user. This will jail the user within /documents.
