Restricting to certain folders

Hiya,
I'm new to this software, so if this is answered somewhere in the docs, please just point me to the relevant one.

Anyway, is there a way to restrict users to certain folders on the windows machine? It seems at the moment, that they have complete access to the whole machine...have I missed a setup option?

Sorry, I found it. Just a varient on the FAQ. Add the users to a group, deny them at top level, and then give the group permissions to the folders you want. I should learn to read more carefully!

The solution described in the FAQ is true ONLY if your partitions are formated with NTFS! But what you could make if you have FAT/FAT32 partition?!

copSSH on FAT file system is not recommended.

IMHO it would be great if you could make a "Restrict a user to home-directory"-process similar to the one for activating/deactivating.
Everyone using copSSH for "unattended" filetransfers would love something like this.
