cPanel FTP access to non public_html directory?

[jamison73]

Hi,

How do I setup an FTP account that goes to outside of the public_html directory.

Example: I want the customer's FTP directory to be here

/home/myaccount/customers/customer01/

Insteaf of here

/home/myaccount/public_html/customer01/

Thanks,
Jamie

If you're using proftpd you should be able to edit /etc/proftpd/passwd.vhosts adn change the login path for the username in that file.

Then stop and start proftpd.

Any way to do that in pureftp?

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I have a customer who wants to do exactly this kind of thing. Ideally I want to give them a way to do it themselves from cPanel - any ideas?
