Author Access to specific subdirectory only

Hello,
I am trying to set up FTP on my SBS 2K machine so users can only access a
specific subdirectory. My default FTP site directory is X:\ftp and I have a
X:\ftp\userdir for a another FTP site. My problem is when I logon as a user
to access x:\ftp\userdir I also have access to x:\ftp. How do I restrict
access only to the subdirectory only?
Thank You
Joe

This is a known issue, user able to 'cd ..' and navigate to ftproot.
doing a dir listing, he/she will be able to see other folders listing.
you can't restrict them from accessing the ftproot.

what you can do is configure the user directory mapping as
virtual directory (which default, won't appear in dir listing), however
user still able to access the ftproot, but without listing.

In IIS6, this is being taken care of with the new isolation feature.
