I have a webserver that we are giving a consultant FTP access to. For one domain hosted on that server he needs access to a "dev" directory and for a different domain hosted on that server he needs access to a different directory. I am trying to set this up with VirtualHosts, but I am having issues. Here is the VirtualHost bit of my proftpd.conf file:

<VirtualHost www.example2.com>
        ServerName  "Example 2"
        DefaultRoot /var/www/example2/dev
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost www.example1.com>
        ServerName  "Example 1"
        DefaultServer on
        DefaultRoot /var/www/example1
</VirtualHost>

When I FTP to either domain I always get the first VirtualHost, even if I FTP to the second domain.
