different FTP folders for different users

[NutritioN]

I've read up on htaccess stuff so am happy to use that, but not sure if it's appropriate for what I need...

On my existing ftp server (not set up by me) there's a general pass to get in. What I want to do is have particular user(s) logging in and only be able to see their own folder further down the file tree to read and write to. What's the best way to do that? is that all in the .htaccess text?

Cheers

FTP and htaccess are two different things.

Ah, thought so.

yourdomain.com/~user1
yourdomain.com/~user2

Well at the moment there are files and demo sites hosted in a httpdocs folder in the root; one user (me) with one login to generally use it all. I want to put a folder inside httpdocs (or even lower) that when the new user ftp logs in, it defaults to and they cannot browse higher up the folder tree.

Cool, as I said, I didn't set it up and only have experience of jumping via FTP transfer programs. So is there a file or GUI for managing the FTP user access? There's a couple of folders in the root (alongside cgi-bin etc.) that I don't have permission to access so I'll have to ask the guy that did set it up. Cheers anyway.
