You can do with the DefaultChdir directive or DefaultRoot directives:

  http://www.proftpd.org/docs/directives/linked/config_ref_DefaultChdir.html
  http://www.proftpd.org/docs/directives/linked/config_ref_DefaultRoot.html

If you use DefaultRoot, you should also read:

  http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/doc/contrib/ProFTPD-mini-HOWTO-Chroot.html
