Be careful with this. I think if this is done, when you go to delete that user, you'll delete the contents of main site with him/her. Better to just educate your end users IMHO. Tell them to set their ftp clients directory to /web. For Dreamweaver, use ../../web.

I agree better to educate them.

However, this arrangement does not delete the main site if the user is removed - BUT, if the user who owns all the files in the main site is deleted then those files will go away anyway. Nothing to do with the sim link though.
