I want to grant upload access to a couple of people using a single ftp account, but I want to restrict them to a single folder only.

Any pointers as to how to do it?

It would depend on the particular FTP daemon you're using. Which daemon are you using?

Just had a similar issue with a subhost. I created a user that only had ftp privileges (no mail) and put them in the directory they would be allowed access. Then set ftp settings host as: theirdomain, user - the new ftp only, and password that I set for the account. I still have no problems getting in, but they cannot backtrack through my server.

Good luck,
