Hi Siju,
Sounds like you need to create a restricted FTP account. I have attached a procedure that has worked well for me.

Hi hpiocl
You should refer this file
/usr/newconfig/etc/ftpd/examples/ftpaccess
and
#man ftpaccess
for syntax in this file

FORCUS ON THESE TAG
# cdpath
cdpath /USER_HOME
cdpath /pub
and
upload /var/ftp * no
upload /var/ftp /incoming yes root daemon 0600 dirs
upload /var/ftp /bin no
upload /var/ftp /etc no

OR
vi /etc/passwd
user::100:92:userid Account:/ftp/./incoming:/etc/ftponly

hi,

as everyone has suggested, use ftpaccess:

http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90685/ch02s08.html?btnNext=next%A0%BB

and to restrict user to their home directory:
