Accessing Web folder using proftpd

Ive set up a ubuntu box as a router for my house. Ive installed apache, mysql, php and proftpd on there. Im new to this sort of thing and Im having trouble confiduring proftpd to work how I want it to.

In my configuration file I have the lines:

# grant login only for members of the group
<Limit LOGIN>
DenyGroup !ftpuser
</Limit>

Which I believe only lets users that are part of the group ftpuser access the ftpserver. This is fine but when I log on it gives access to the users home folder.

What I want to do is be able to access the /var/www/ folder using an ftp program directly so that I can upload web-pages there rather than having to load them to my home folder then moving them to the web-folder.

Any help with the conf file is greatly appreciated :)

Thanks in advance

Try something like

<Anonymous /var/www/htdocs>

<Limit WRITE>
AllowALL
</Limit>

</Anonymous>

For completness I have included my part of the config.

Code:

<Anonymous /mnt/cdrom/slackware>

  RequireValidShell            off

  User                          ftp

  Group                        ftp

  # We want clients to be able to login with "anonymous" as well as "ftp"

  UserAlias                    anonymous ftp



  # Limit the maximum number of anonymous logins

  MaxClients                    50



  # We want 'welcome.msg' displayed at login, and '.message' displayed

  # in each newly chdired directory.

  DisplayLogin                  welcome.msg

  DisplayFirstChdir            .message



  # Limit WRITE everywhere in the anonymous chroot

  <Limit WRITE>

    AllowAll

  </Limit>
