[ubuntu-uk] FTP Server Problems - Help?

[Daniel Case]

I just set it in the config file:
It told me to uncomment the line which said something along the lines of:

DocumentRoot: ~

If i set it to an actual directory it will be fine, for example: /var/www
But then how do i set diff users diff directories?
