That sounds like just the ticket apart from one thing, it would affect every
single user on a server right?

What if a vsite user does not have siteadmin rights, i.e. they can only work
within their own web user space, which is what we provide within one vsite in
particular, would this not muck that up, or is there something you do within the
proftpd.conf that takes this into account and only puts the siteadmins straight
into the vsites web folder...

Thanks
