How to change the FTP user path in cPanel

By default cPanel does not allow you to change the FTP path for your main account or sub-accounts, after creating the domain. But you can easily change it from the FTP user configuration files. Each cPanel user has a file in/etc/proftpd (yes, even if you use pure-ftp)

# cat /etc/proftpd/user
user:$1$vAYD1RJQ$U7pJmHJvT5dFL.kzoJ8f6/:509:508::/home/user:/bin/ftpsh
user_logs:$1$vAYD1RJQ$U7pJmHJvT5dFL.kzoJ8f6/:509:508:user:/home/.domlogs/user:/bin/ftpsh

As you can see, /etc/proftpd contains a file for each of the accounts on the server. Edit the file for the domain, and change the home directory.

user:$1$vAYD1RJQ$U7pJmHJvT5dFL.kzoJ8f6/:509:508::/home/user/myfiles:/bin/ftpsh

After editing save the file and then restart your pure-ftpd service
