I'm doing this for some customers using wu-ftpd. It allows each virtual host to have it's own anonymous ftp directory (/home/username/public_ftp in my case. The configuration is done in /usr/local/etc/ftpaccess (which is installed when wu-ftpd is installed), and it should look something like this for each vhost.. # virtual hosts virtual aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd root /usr/home/username/public_ftp virtual aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd banner /usr/home/username/public_ftp/etc/ftpmotd virtual aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd logfile /usr/home/username/logs/ftp.log Where aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is the ip address for that particular domain. Keep in mind that all three lines are needed for each vhost and that in my case, each vhost has it's own ip address. See http://www.landfield.com/wu-ftpd/ for more info.
