so when you create a shell user the default base dir is eg /var/www/clients/client9095/web9614 when users login they have to go up a few times till they can see the root and then get to /web i wanted to make the default dir /web so I changed this to /var/www/clients/client9095/web9614/web but that has deleted the whole website any tips on how I should be doing this ? thanks
Ok I see thanks. so is there anyway for me to specify the default directory when people login through SFTP ?
I don't think so. What you might try is to add a symlink with the name 'web' which points to the web dir of the site inside the home directory of the shell user. This can probably be automated with a small ispconfig plugin which would consist just of a few lines of code that gets executed after a shell user is created.
