I had create this user account mainly for FTP use.

I had already setup FTPD with ftpaccess functionality.

The following is the content of my /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess
#=====
class local    real  *.mydomain.com
class outsider real !*.mydomain.com

loginfails 3
banner /etc/ftpd/banner.msg
greeting terse
noretrieve /etc/passwd core

upload class=local /  *       no
upload class=local /files/upload/  *  yes guser itstaff 0660 nodirs
#======

There is numerous subdirectories within /files/upload, which this user
can change directory to, but I am having problem restrict this user
from exit outside /files/upload. It currently able to even able to cd
to / (root) and perform dir listing.

Anyone able to help me??

Look for "anonymous ftp" and "chroot" command in your favourite search 
machine.

Use rsh shell, with this they can't go ouside of home directory.
