I think my first question would be:
<br />
<br />If they're not tech savy enough to be able to navigate to the proper directory - what are you giving them FTP access for?? FTP is powerful enough that they could do some serious damage to a website - deleting, renaming, or overwriting the wrong files.
<br />
<br />If they can't figure out what directory they are in - do you trust them with the site's files? Or do you trust them with the other user's files (like their mbox file)??
<br />

I just wondered if there was a way to ensure that when the user logs in they are
taken to a specific folder by forcing it on the server, regardless. Not all my
users are particularly IT savvy, so this would save some frustration;)
