FTP server (built-in) setup in 10.5.6

[skiffx]

What would be the proper step-by-step instruction to setup an ftp server using the built-in feature in OSX 10.5.6, so the user is locked into a specific folder only, and obviously to make it as secure as possible ? Also what if you want to have multiple users, and/or different ports (instead of default 21) ? Thank in advance.

I googled <OS X ftp server setup> and came up with a lot of links to check out.

Yes but all ways that are described (as Ive looked into before) dont lock a user into a specific, designated by me folder..how do I do that?

at the terminal type "man ftpd". It mentions a file called ftpchroot, which I think may give you the functionality you want.
