Well, either you or I are misunderstanding the original poster's question,
which he could perhaps be so kind as to clarify.  The way I read it is that
he has created ten domains.  The administrators of those domains use ftp to
upload the domain web page (not a user web page).

But those pages are not showing up at www.site1.com and www.site2.com.
Rather they are showing up as www.site1.com/~johndoe and
www.site2.com/~janedoe.  The domains have the original cobalt info web page
at www.site1.com and www.site2.com.

I believe the original poster was discussing a problem with domain web pages
rather than user-level web pages.

Cobalt-Canada was trying to explain that the site admins need to post their
DOMAIN web page in /web rather than the default directory for the given user
(/users/johndoe/web).  He is quite right.  If you tell CuteFTP or WS_FTP to
startup in the remote folder /web then this problem is avoided.
