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.
