Re: [cobalt-users] starting in /home/sites/site#/web instead of..

[Gordon <root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That will do what you want, remember the tilde (~) is the users login
directory, when you moved it up 1 level changing the password file, it
changed proftp's interpretation of ~/.. so yes, just shorten it in
proftp's config file, the site effects should be mild, you will have to
change passwd path settings for *all* site-admin's tho, since it will
affect everyone who logs in as a site admin....

Save a copy of the old config file somewhere .... this is ALWAYS a good
idea ;)

PS: the symlink permission denied probably means you didn't set the
ownership correctly....
