This isn't necessary. You can just set FTP users to only see Home
Directories and then set the NFSHomeDirectory attribute in the Inspector for
the user to the path that you'd like to see them put into without being
given the chance to cd up a level... Just make sure they have permissions
to the directory you specify as their login directory. Happy FTPing.
