I just migated servers and switched from Ensim to Virtualmin, popped for a $200 license fee. I am having a lot of trouble understanding the Virtualmin documentation, there are no screens and obviously my level of understanding is inadequate. Anyone familiar with Virtualmin and creating a user who can FTP to his and only his subfolder (and not up to the public_html directory) ??
I can create users, but cannot determine the URL to access the index page in their folder. www.domain.tld/user/ ?
This was really easy with Ensim. :confused:

I'm not familiar with Virtualmin, but did you take a look at the Apache configuration? That should give you a hint how you can access the user directories.

Thanks, Falko, but I will admit that I wouldn't really know how to read my Apache configuration.
However, trial and error may have come through again. For any other noobs who come staggering this way,
Virtualmin:
get the desired domain in the dropdown list
>Edit Mail and FTP,
>Add a user to this server.
>Add username and password,
>In Quota and home directory settings, Home Directory, check the "Subdirectory of server's home": public_html/user1 ;in this case, folder is named "public_html/user1"
FTP:
hostname: domain.com
Username: user1.domain
password: xxxxxxx
In web browser: http://www.domain.com/user1/
Simple, just took a while to get the right combination of settings.

I think there's some kind of Alias line for the user pages.
