When setting up ftp accounts, I notice that the default (and only) location for a directory for the new account is in /public_html/. Is there no way to set that directory to /public_ftp/? Why?

In cPanel 11 this is no longer the case. In cPanel 11, you can set the FTP account to have access to any path within ~ (your home directory) rather than just ~/public_html/
Note that public_ftp is intended to be used by anonymous FTP users, not authenticated FTP users. I would recommend that when you move to cPanel 11 if you still do not want the users to be able to access ~/public_html/ that you consider creating a separate directory such as ~/my_ftp/ and grant users access to that directory (or paths within) instead.
