How do I give a developer access to a specific directory and nothing else?

I want to give a develop access to a specific directory and nothing else

I can give them an FTP account with access to a sub directory, but this doesn't exactly solve the problem!

1. They can write PHP code to access other directories below and have FULL access to *everything*!

2. What if I could solve problem 1 somehow (I have no idea how!), but then I wanted them to have *only* access to a directory but NOT to sub directories contained under that directory?

I'd always given developers a sub directory in which to put their code - I'd never actually ever thought that they could access the whole domain!

So: how can I make sure they only have access to what I want?

Thanks
