Stopping FTP users from navigating entire server

Is there a way to stop people who use a domain's ftp login from being able to apparently navigate around the whole server, root and all?
 
what do you mean by that? each user is locked in to their home by defauly
 
Are you using proFTPD. Try ftp'ing to the server and look at the banner.

Check /etc/proftpd.conf. Make sure DefaultRoot is set. Sounds like chroot is not occurring.
 
In /etc/proftpd.conf you have to put a line with this:
DefaultRoot ~
