I need to allow a user to ftp a file to a directory on our unix machine that is not her own directory. Furthermore, for THAT directory ONLY, I would like her to only have FTP access.

I'm a database person and new to sys admin. I appreciate any help.

What I would probably do is allow her to ftp the file to her own directory and have a regular cron job to check whether the file's there and if it is move it to where you want it to be. As for restricting access, try a keyword search for chroot in this forum.
