I have a RedHat 7.2 server running Apache. What is the best way to secure the html directory and those in it?

As an example, say I have a web site at /var/ - if I create a user called webadmin whose home directory on FTP login is the website folder, how do I set the security on the html and website directories so that they can do whatever they want in the website directory, but cannot 'cd ..' into the html directory?
