Hi,<br />
I have a site and in the root of my site there are two folders, a user area and an data area.<br />
I want to give FTP acess to my user area for some people, but they need access to a folder nested inside the data area.<br />

Can I create a folder inside my user area that maps to the folder inside the data area, without giving them access to the root?<br />

Hi,
I have a site and in the root of my site there are two folders, a user area and an data area.
I want to give FTP acess to my user area for some people, but they need access to a folder nested inside the data area.

Can I create a folder inside my user area that maps to the folder inside the data area, without giving them access to the root?

I am not worried about security as I trust the people, but for convenience  I want them only to have acces to the parts they need.
