This is the preferred method of doing this (if the users can't figure
out how to set default remote directory in their FTP program).

Symlinking their home directory, or editing the user configuration to
put the site directory as their home directory is BAD and DANGEROUS: 
when a user is removed from the system, their home directory is
automatically and completely destroyed as well.  If their "home" dir is
the site dir, your entire website goes away in the blink of an eye.
