You should be able to do this with your ProFTPd.
Do you have an /etc/proftpd.conf file?

Add a line like:

DefaultRoot ~

(This tilde means that it will chroot to the users home directory.)

Then run "/etc/init.d/proftpd restart"

I usually use lukemftpd which also can chroot. (It is now called
"tnftpd".)
