How come when I modified the default folder for users to ftp in, it works for my users but not with the login "admin" . Weird...
Please help as I have definitely no idea about that.

Well, the user admin's root directory is slightly different than the other directories, and thus this may be why?

By default, "admin"s and "siteadmin"s have different configuration settings as to where they'll wind up when you FTP in. So you probably changed it for the siteadmins but not the admin.
So how can I fix this in order to let my admin FTP in the /web folder? It's very annoying to change the folder everytime.

Since the admin is you (I presume), in your FTP client there are a couple of things you can set. One is the local directory that your FTP client will go to so you can upload your site from your HD.
The other is the Initial Remote Site Folder (this is with WS_FTP but it should be something like this regardless of the FTP program you use). You can enter:
/home/sites/home/web
-in that space and you will end up in the correct folder each time you connect.
Note that for siteadmins of other sites on the server, you'd just enter /web there.
Thanks guys. But I am able to modify the files and made it work on my server end. So I don't need to set up anything for my client while enjoying the ftp changing automatically to /web when I log in. :p
