Proftp and permissions

Ok here is my problem -

I have proftpd setup on my linux box

i typed ./proftpd start and it works

my problem is that when you log in useing the different users i have made, i can still go backwards and look through other files. I have made the permissions for each user to their own box, and i would like to make it so they cannot leave they default folder.

I put this in the proftpd.conf

# To cause every FTP user to be "jailed" (chrooted) into their home
# directory, uncomment this line.
DefaultRoot ~

I then type ./proftpd restart but i do not think that it is restarting because when i typed ./proftpd stop nothing happened! so please let me know what i am doing wrong! thanks for the help.
