Hi David: Thanks for the suggestions. Sorry for not replying earlier but it took me a while to attempt the VFS thing. For now I think VFS FTPServer Bridge will do it for me. It (The bridge) allows you to set "root directory" for the virtual file system, which can be parent to all users' home directories. Thanks to you and Gary for the pointers. Nilesh.
