[cobalt-users] RAQ2 - ProFTPD configuration



I know this has been asked before, but none of the solutions mentioned in
this list have worked for me.
I've also read http://www.proftpd.net/docs/configuration.html#DefaultRoot
about 20 times -today-. Anyway, here's my question...

When any user (including my admin account) connects to their site's FTP
account, by default, the remote directory is...
/users/useraccountname (/home/sites/sitename/users/useraccountname)

I want the default remote directory to be
/web (/home/sites/sitename/web)

Full paths are in parenthesis.

Here is what the top section of my /etc/proftpd.conf looks like now:

# 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                      "ProFTPD"
ServerType                      inetd
DeferWelcome                    off
DefaultServer                   on
DefaultRoot                     / admin
DefaultRoot                     ~/../.. site-adm
DefaultRoot                     ~ !site-adm

I know the DefaultRoot entry(s) need to be changed to accomplish what I
want, I just don't know what to change them to. I've tried quite a few
different combinations with no success. Also, do I even need 3 different
DefaultRoot entries?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason
