I agree, you shouldn't muck about with that.

The users should pay attention to the .ftphelp file that most FTP
clients display when they connect.

 This session begins in your user home directory at /users/%U
 Your personal web directory is /users/%U/web, accessible at the URL
 http://<your.site.domain>/~%U/

 As a site administrator, you can access the site home directory at /
 The site web directory is /web, accessible at the URL
 http://<your.site.domain>/

 To upload to your personal web directory, type:
 "cd web", then "put <file>", where <file> is the full file name of the
 document on your local computer.  

 To upload to the site web directory, type:
 "cd /web", then "put <file>" where <file> is the full file name of the 
 document on your local computer.

I'm not sure where the master for that is, but could be changed if you
