OK... I created a regular home directory via the WGM and I'm
forgetting about the web part of it for now. I have a home directory
mount point and FTP access enabled and the firewall is open (I double
checked the logs also).
I try to connect via the CLI (in verbose debug mode):
230 User dan logged in.

I can login but a directory listing fails.
Everytime I connect via FTP I get these in the system log:

found in Kerberos database)

I've tried that. I edited my users and created the custom home
paths. When I connect to the server via the cli ftp the
connections time out. I tried via my web dev app (Go Live), tried
to create a folder on the server and the system.log showed a
blocked attempt to make a folder in /Library/FTPServer/FTPRoot/.
This path is specified in the admin section under FTP and I have
'Home Directories' selected.
It seems something is not connecting between users logging in and
their home directories.
Also how to I get the FTP server to log activity? My /var/log/
ftp.log files are empty. I can't seem to find any other log files
to troubleshoot this.

I want to grant a handfull of users FTP access to a few websites

i.e. that is the same as their www root. Example:
user1:
/var/www/user1/
user2:
/var/www/user2/
In the WGM it seems impossible to create a sharepoint in /var/*.
I have the existing users and the site in the WGM.
Is their an easy way to do this? I read the manual and it's
quite basic and does not really help at all. Can anyone point me
in the right direction on this?
You could probably just turn on the inspector in WGM and change
the home that way. Or use dscl.
