Are you using system users or virtual users?

If using virtual users you can define its path when creating the users
database.

Then I cannot tell you how to achieve this. Virtual users can definitively
handle this, but system users, dunno how :-?

Anyway, you can take a look into "vsftpd_conf" man page and review
the "passwd_chroot_enable" variable to see if that fits your needs.

Manpage of VSFTPD.CONF

I tried to change a lot of variables including "passwd_chroot_enable" but it didn't worked

What were your changes? Post them here someone can give you any hint.

I think vsftp lookups the content of /etc/passwd file to handle this.

Hmmm it's a little bit difficult because I changed a lot of variables but I'll investigate further and i'll post back with updates about this question.
