Add another vote for ProFTPD.  I like it so much in fact that I run one of
the official mirrors (proftpd.ethereal.com).

Using the "DefaultRoot" configuration directive, you can make the server
chroot to your user's home directories.  E.g., if all of your ftp users
are in a group called "ftp-users", adding

DefaultRoot ~ ftp-users

to ProFTPD's configuration will chroot accordingly.
