Ok, the Cobalt way.....as I have found it works for me

create a user for each site, 
make that user the siteadmin, 
connect to the server ip#, 
usermame is the same as the user you just created.
you will log on in a chroot jail  the tree looks something like this:

/--|--web   <---- this is where you place files for the site
     |--logs   
     |--users
     |      | --user1       
                     |--web    <- this is where you logon in the tree and     
                                         place files for the user ala         
                                         thesite.com/~user1
