set these in vsftpd.conf:

anonymous_enable=YES
chroot_local_user=YES
chroot_list_enable=YES
chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
local_root=/home/ftp

this sets the anonymous ftp user and all local users to be chrooted 
to /home/ftp. the file /etc/vsftpd.chroot_list will then be a list 
of users you don't want to be chrooted to /home/ftp. you just add 
the username (ie. add user "jason" if u don't want him to get stuck
in /home/ftp.


now, adding another directory as an ftp root - i have no idea how to 
do that in vsftpd.

there are example config files in the doc dir of vsftpd in your system.
better check
them off first.
