I haven't used vsftpd in a long time but I believe you can do something like this: Set user_config_dir to point to someplace such as /etc/vsftpd/users In that directory, create files for each username and within it put: local_root=/home/ftp I think that might set all of those users to login to that folder. I have not tried it. :) There was also an option to use alternative home directories rather than the one specified in /etc/passwd, but I can't remember exactly what that was and it may have still used the username as part of the path. "man vsftpd.conf" should explain it.
