Re: [cobalt-users] changing default directory

["Andrew D. Mussaw" <amussaw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

FTP works the same way.  The /etc/passwd file determines the home directory
for the user no matter how they access the server.  Just be sure they have
ownership of their home directory or they won't be able to upload or delete
items.
