Protecting the directory tree

Hello, I am hoping someone maybe able to help me.
I have set up an Apache web server on my sun server with user accounts in the main htdocs directory. My question is how to stop these users searching up the directory tree when they ftp/telnet to the server. Also is it possible to restrict the commands they have access to? For example only let them have ls, cd, mkdir, rm.
I am using a sun sparc with solaris 8 installed, Apache 2.2.6.
Thank you for any help given.

NAME
Apache::XMLRPC::Lite - mod_perl-based XML-RPC server with minimum configuration SYNOPSIS
httpd.conf (Location), directory-based access <Location /mod_xmlrpc> SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::XMLRPC::Lite PerlSetVar dispatch_to "/Your/Path/To/Deployed/Modules, Module::Name, Module::method" PerlSetVar options "compress_threshold => 10000" </Location> httpd.conf (Files), file-based access <FilesMatch ".xmlrpc$"> SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::XMLRPC::Lite PerlSetVar dispatch_to "/Your/Path/To/Deployed/Modules, Module::Name, Module::method" PerlSetVar options "compress_threshold => 10000" </FilesMatch> .htaccess, directory-based access SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::XMLRPC::Lite PerlSetVar dispatch_to "/Your/Path/To/Deployed/Modules, Module::Name, Module::method" PerlSetVar options "compress_threshold => 10000" DESCRIPTION
This Apache Perl module provides the ability to add support for XML-RPC protocol with easy configuration (either in .conf or in .htaccess file). This functionality should give you lightweight option for hosting SOAP services and greatly simplify configuration aspects. This module inherites functionality from XMLRPC::Transport::HTTP::Apache component of XMLRPC::Lite module. CONFIGURATION
The module can be placed in <Location>, <Directory>, <Files>, <FilesMatch> directives in main server configuration areas or directly in .htaccess file. All parameters should be quoted and can be separated with commas or spaces for lists ("a, b, c") and with 'wide arrows' and commas for hash parameters ("key1 => value1, key2 => value2"). All options that you can find in XMLRPC::Transport::HTTP::Apache component are available for configuration. Here is the description of most important ones. dispatch_to (LIST) Specifies path to directory that contains Perl modules you'd like to give access to, or just list of modules (for preloaded modules). PerlSetVar dispatch_to "/Your/Path/To/Deployed/Modules, Module::Name, Module::method" options (HASH) Specifies list of options for your module, for example threshold for compression. Future versions will support more options. See XMLRPC::Transport::HTTP documentation for other options. PerlSetVar options "compress_threshold => 10000" METHODS
/SUBROUTINES server my $server = Apache::XMLRPC::Lite->server(); Returns the server object. Useful if you need to manipulate the server object from your code. handle Request handler. Called by apache. DEPENDENCIES
