The FTP server in OS X is a PITA. I managed to set up Unix links (*NOT*
Finder aliases) to various directories in the appropriate directory, but
that's about it. Then when people log in, at least they get a choice of
places to go to, rather than having to know that they are in
/Users/whatever.

I'm not in my office right now, but as I recall, that directory was
/Library/FTPServer/FTP Root, or something like that.

This behavior is unlike any FTP server I have ever used, and is very
confusing. I guess Apple is trying to emulate AFP and SMP logins?
