Sorry if my requirement was not clear enough. so here's better explanation:
I have a group of users who needs to access their home directories that exist on a mounted drive called /new
so every one will have his home directory called "/new/user_name"
now they need to add files to their home directories but i don't want them to directly login to the UNIX box to add files, i want them to have only one way to add/write files to their home directories which is through FTP only

pure-quotacheck refuses to scan directories with uid = 0 (root) or gid = 0 (wheel/root) .
pure-quotacheck performs a chroot() call to the home directory. It never traverses parent directories.
pure-quotacheck only scans real files (no socket, no pipe, etc) .
pure-quotacheck enforces read access on directories to prevent against people doing chmod 0 before a quota scan.
pure-quotacheck enforces write access on the home directory to properly write the .ftpquota file.
pure-quotacheck never scans the same inode/device pair twice.
