Well I have gotten as far as step three without too much trouble, but I seem
to run into problems when I try #4:
chown /home/sites/site1/web --recursive tsymlinks
tsymlinks is a test user that I setup to try it out. It is the user
directory that I want to link back to the web directory. I just need to be
able to make it easy for the admin for a specific site to ftp directly to
the /home/sites/site#/web directory. Most off my customers are not very
knowledgeable of directories and such. I say "set your remote ftp path to
/web", and they say "huh?" It is a simple world I live in...
