When you say:

,
it sound like i do not add a user in a separate MySQL database, but in Linux itself.
What I had in mind was creating a database in MySQL, say "ProFTPD_Users", and only one table in it, say "users", and three fields, "user_id", "user_password", and "default_folder" - where "default_folder" is one of the subfolders in /opt/lampp/htdocs.
The idea is that I am going to host different websites for my company (internal loops) and give access to different users to the different "websites" (which are going to be in subfolder in /opt/lampp/htdocs.
I don't know if that makes sense?
Very gratefully,
