Re: [cobalt-users] FTP directory



Where it says /home/sites/site10/users/info
Change it to /home/sites/site10/web

What I normally do is just tell our customers to set there initial remote host
directory in their FTP programs to ../../web
This will do the same thing and eliminate you having to enter the passwd file.
