I have also turned on vsftpd and built him as a user but when he FTP's in he is at his home directory I just want to log in and be at his web site files. I just cannot put together what I need and I am sure there have to be a way. Thanks in advance for your help 

guest_enable=yes

All non-anonymous logins are classed as "guest" logins. A guest login is
remapped to the user specified in the guest_username setting.

Create the guest user whose home page is where the files are.
