Automatically setting a user home directory in vsftpd

Can I give users only access to their home directories like this in vsftpd ?

/home/NEWUSERACCOUNT where NEWUSERACCOUNT is the login ?

Thanks - it would lots of set up time and could be used in a script maybe.

Actually this is one of the reasons I used vsftpd in the past. Inside vsftpd.conf put this:

chroot_local_user=YES

user_sub_token=$USER

local_root=/var/www/html/$USER/downloads

Open vsftpd configuration file - /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf

# vi /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf

Make sure following line exists (and uncommented):

chroot_local_user=YES
