errm, this might sound a little daft, but are we absolutely sure that the
user account being used to ftp the file is a *site admin* and not just
another site user.

We can state all we like that index.html MUST be placed into the /web root
of the domain but if the ftp user does not have site admin status, they will
still see a root with a /web in it into which they can apparently upload
their file. But of course this will only ever be displayed at
www.name.com/~username/ . Perhaps Mihai might like to just perform a very
simple test and use the web to access his domain in the mentioned way, ie
name.com/~username/ and see if he gets to see his file. (username should be
replaced by the login name of the user being used to ftp.)

Simple test should rule it out. If you see your page you need to give that
username site admin rights so that they can climb the web tree into the true
root /web for the domain. You could also make sure that you are in the real
root of the domain by seeing if when ftp'd in at / you have a folder called
/users. If not, your user is not able to write to the root domain web
folder.
