    I do this for all the the web accounts.

    I make their home directory the top directory of their
    domain. /usr/local/www/data/<domain-name> and then I put
    their login name in /etc/ftpchroot.

    This way when they ftp they are their own tree and can go nowhere
    else. With 1 or 2 exceptions there are no shell accounts on the
    server, and the only thing the domain users can do is to ftp in/out
    of their domain.
