Details about issue

I am able to mount s3fs fuse in docker but i want particular ftp user created by me to access particular folder of S3 Bucket. I am using vsftpd server too. Is there any way to make this happen ? When we mount using below command, it shows all folder and user can access all the folder.
s3fs bucket_name /home/lal/ftp/files -o passwd_file=/etc/passwd-s3fs
How can we limit the users folder access ? Please help me with any kind of references. Thank you for such wonderful package.

You can mount a path of a bucket via: s3fs bucket:/path mountpoint.

@gaul i have mounted the whole bucket. Now what i have to do is give specific folder inside of that bucket permission to one user and another folder of bucket to another user. How can we acheive that ?
