This is wholly dependent upon the users' shell.
You should perhaps try changing the users' shell to /bin/rbash
Read the bash manpage section on "RESTRICTED SHELL"

If it's FTP we're talking about, then you would probably have to use an
ftp server OTHER than BSD in.ftpd or wu.ftpd.  These will not be able to
do what you ask for.  Proftpd is what I use, and has quite a powerful
and confusing configuration.  But once it's setup correctly, very
versatile.  http://www.proftpd.org/
