You have to setup your ftp account ftponly regardingly.

Example:

guest1::100:92:Guest Account:/ftp/./incoming:/etc/ftponly

When guest1 successfully logs in, the ftp server will chroot
(/ftp) and then chdir (/incoming). The guest user will only be
able to access the directory structure under /ftp (which will
look and act as / to guest1), just as an anonymous FTP user
would.

To control directory structure, change /ftp to your requirement.
