Locking an IIS/FTP user to a specific directory

I have created an FTP site using IIS 5 and created a couple of users. All is fine with the users being able to logon and access their own individual folder. Is there a way that I can stop the user from browsing higher than their own folder?

My FTP site has a home directory of c:\inetpub\ftproot\epos

I then have 2 (and will require more) virtual directories named site1 and site2. The local path for these virtual directories are:

c:\inetpub\ftproot\epos\site1
c:\inetpub\ftproot\epos\site2

I have created 2 users in AD called site1 and site2 and they can access their respective directories, and can also browse up to the epos folder, but not drill down into the other user's folder. I need to make sure they cannot browse up out of their folder to see what other users exist.

Reading on the web, it looks like IIS 6 contains a feature called user isolation, but this does not seem to be available in IIS 5.

I might not have got the config right at all, and maybe there's another way I should be doing it.

Any help gratefully accepted.
