I own a VPS server. At the moment I havent installed any FTP server on it, I am using SSH and SFTP only. I am using Debian 6 Squeeze and Apache2 service. The web directory is in /var/www/

Well, I wanted to create different FTP accounts and give access to some people to them (one account per user). In my web directory I have an structure like this:

/var/www/mtaplugins/music/mplayer/music/ /var/www/mapuploader/ and more folders inside. I want to create an FTP account which should be able to just access one of those folders and the folders inside them.

I would appreciate some recomendations or stept to follow before installing anything or doing anythong, because I dont have any idea about this.

I was thinking in using ProFTPd but as I saw in the documentation it would just create an account for each user in my server, and I want to not create more users (I always use root)

Thanks in advance
