FTP control?

I am using OSX's built in FTP server. Is there some way to limit how far up the tree users can go? I would like the users who only access my computer via FTP to be limited to their home folder. As it is now they can get out into the general system. They can't do anything out there since all the files are owned by me, but I'd like to keep them from potentially snooping around the computer.
 
OK, that worked, but now when I ftp in I see a date and time before the name of every folder. I think it's the date modified or created. These are not on the actual names of the files, and so clicking on them gets you a link not found error. If you type in the name that comes after the date and time it goes there fine. Why is it showing that, and why only in FTP?
 
It was a problem with groups. I tried to create a new group in netinfo and that caused it. Apparently I don't know how to make that work. Which is a bummer, because it would be nice to create groups for each person that FTPs to me and put myself and them in the group so that I don't have to give access to everyone on the staff group access simply to let both of us move files around.
