  No, that will put files in their user web site, the original question
  was how to make it easier for a site admin to put files in the 
 top site they are admin for....

 BTW, an easier solution is just to make a symbolic link in the user
 dir pointing up 2 levels,

eg: cd /home/sites/siteX/users/username
    ln -s ../../web/  WebSite

 that gives the user something to click on
 and acts as a reminder....as an added precaution , you can make
 the users login directory read-only, assuming they don't use it for
anything else, it helps prevent accudents like uploading all their site
files there....
