You either can see all or you see none.
If you are using IIS 6, then try the ftp user isolation mode. With 5, what
you can do is create the customer folder as virtual directory and mapped it
to the actual path. Point your ftproot to somewhere else.

E.g. ftproot -> d:\ftpdummy\
virtual directory cust1 -> d:\ftp\cust1\
