Change ftp location

[fbsoft]

Hey guys,
I come with a new "problem"/question, to you.. i've been starting to look for a way to change the default location of the ftp folder of each user. Now my problem is, if i want for a user to just give him access to a ftp on a specific mounted storage, how would i do that, so that the rights would be automatically set and no bash commands to be involved ???

by default you can set a ftp to point to a folder created inside a client, that by default will point to the webpage of the client, or a folder created earlier...
so the path would be /var/www/clients/client1/web1/ftp for example.
but i want to put it on a separate hdd's for example that i've added in raid and mounted to /mnt/sdd/ and to point it to the folder ftp . In where should i edit the php to change the folder location and user asignment.
Thanks

The path of the ftp user can be set on the options tab of the ftp user.

Does the folder belong to the user and group of the website?

that's the problem i've mentioned, how to do so, without interfering from the command line

If you want to use a folder, then it has to exist and belong to the right user. You can e.g. write a plugin for ispconfig that creates the folder and assign it to the ftp user add event.
