I'm not sure what exactly what difficulty you're having, but maybe this will
help. Go to Server Admin, click FTP, then Advanced. One of the settings is
labeled "Authenticated users see" and controls where users are taken when
they log in. Mine is set to "Home directories with share points." What you
might want to do is set it to set this to FTP Root and populate that with
aliases to the various group folders.

What kind of stuff? The web server is very easy to configure.
