I hope I explained myself clearily.

You should be able to restrict the home directory of the ftp user.
For example, if a user is uploading to /public_html/images/myfolder, set up a new ftp user and indicate this as their home directory. They will not be able to see anything above this folder, only the "myfolder" directory and any subdirectories of "myfolder".
