I have a FTP account setup for a user. I want to setup an ftp account for another user but I want that user's folder to be a subfolder of the first user. I want the new user to be able to access only his own folder. I want the first user to be able to write to either folder.

Thanks

 
Create the second user acct dir folder under the first user's acct dir (pcname# cd 1stuser-dir, pcname/1stuser-dir# mkdir 2nduser) then, change 2nduser's path using the 'Linuxconf' under ftp settings for users. This should allow the first user to see his/her directory then be allowed to click on 2nduserdir folder and enter it as 1stuser. On the other hand, 2nduser when ftping in would be taken directly to his/her folder. Hope this helps.
 
What are the rights\limitations of the user with the child ftp directory. How can this be set so that a supervisor might see all the personal FTP directory's and the personal directory users cannot see the parent or other child directories.
