Jeff,
I have a similar situation. Check out the HOWTO at
ftp://ftp.fni.com/pub/wu-ftpd/guest-howto
This details how to set up restricted FTP access. You do this by
chroot'ing users to given directories. The only problem I have
had--and maybe others can shine some light--is that by doing so, the users
cannot see ANY files on the server side--even those they have just
transferred. I am probably doing something wrong, but even my UNIX guru
brother couldn't get it set up right (so it's probably something VERY
simple :)
HTH,
Mike
