Paul:

I modify the /etc/proftpd.conf to the following:

# This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file (rename it to
# 'proftpd.conf' for actual use.  It establishes a single server
# and a single anonymous login.  It assumes that you have a user/group
# "nobody" and "ftp" for normal operation and anon.

ServerName"HardyNet.Net FTP Server"
ServerTypeinetd
DeferWelcomeoff
DefaultServeron
DefaultRoot/ admin
DefaultRoot                     ~/../../web site-adm
DefaultRoot                     ~ !site-adm

LsDefaultOptions                "-a"

# Port 21 is the standard FTP port.
Port21
# Umask 022 is a good standard umask to prevent new dirs and files
# from being group and world writable.
Umask002

# Set the user and group that the server normally runs at.
Usernobody
Groupnobody

# Normally, we want files to be overwriteable.
<Directory />
  AllowOverwriteon
</Directory>

# A basic anonymous configuration, no upload directories.

<VirtualHost 63.67.240.146>
DefaultRoot/ admin
DefaultRoot~/../../web site-adm
DefaultRoot~ !site-adm
AllowOverwriteon
DisplayLogin.ftphelp
</VirtualHost>


This takes the site admin directly to the site web folder.  Unfortunately,
on the Raq3i, each time you create a new virtual site, the system overwrites
it, so you have to go back in and modify it again.

Hope this helps.

Joe

I'm still unable to access by FTP any sites using a SITE ADMIN ID and
password on my RaQ4i.  It goes to the user's level and that's it.  Of
course many of my hosting clients are getting upset because they
can't update their files.  I can't give out my admin password.  Can
someone very slowly and clearly explain how to get FTP to work?  I'd
really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Paul
