Question FTP User access too Apache content permissions?

This should be easy but I can't seem to find the answer...

Running Apache with 3 virtutal domains. D1 D2 D3 It all works fine.

Running proftpd and I need to setup 3 users D1 D2 D3 so they can FTP to the server and manage their respective websites.

/www/D1/public
/www/D2/public
/www/D3/public

Currently all files and directories are owned by root.root.

So I setup each of the users home folders to be /www/D1 /www/D2 /www/D3 each is part of groups D1.users etc etc and so they can't write to the directories once they FTP in since the permissions are root.root.

I don't know what happens if I just change ownership to the users as far as security goes, I don't want to accidently give people browsing the sites access they aren't suppose to have.

I can find 200 ways to setup FTP and Apache but not how to actually configure it for mutli user use.

HELP!

The simplest way is to chroot users in theirs own directories...
Have a look on the forum, this one is explain...
However, ask if you have a problem.
Cheers.
