You can't do virtual hosting using domain names in ftp - unlike http, ftp
doesn't support it. The best you can do is when different users login
they see a different section of the directory tree.

I think wu-ftpd does support virtual ftp-hosting using domain-names.
The only limitation comes from single common passwd file, i.e.
you can not have two different users on two different virtual
ftp-server having the same login name...

Thanks for the reply. Isn't wu-ftpd very insecure?

I would love to know how it does the impossible - since the ftp protocol
doesn't know anything about domain names :)

That's because it simply boils down to ftp not being able to support
virtual name hosting. In reality, the above fudge goes something like
this:
domain: ftp.virtual.a.example.com
user/pass: usera/passa
directory: /var/ftp/usera
domain: ftp.virtual.b.example.com
user/pass: userb/passb
directory: /var/ftp/userb
userb can actually login using either ftp.virtual.a.example.com or
ftp.virtual.b.example.com. The different domains is just a convenience
for the users and makes not one bit of difference to an ftp server
because it only knows about which IP address(es) to listen to.

http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Virtual-Services-HOWTO-7.html
http://www.wu-ftpd.org/man/ftpaccess.html
wu-ftpd has very strong "virtual" configuration option:
virtual <address> <root|banner|logfile> <path>
virtual <address> <hostname|email> <string>
virtual <address> allow <username> [<username> ...]
virtual <address> deny <username> [<username> ...]
virtual <address> passwd <file> (Use a different passwd file for the virtual domain)
virtual <address> shadow <file> (Use a different passwd file for the virtual domain)
But I have not tested it personally...

It is not virtual hosting, it is merely presenting different directories
depending on the user/password (the domain plays no part) - although that
not mean it's not useful. IOW it is not comparable to how http does
virtual hosting.
BTW vsftpd (which is what I believe the OP is using) has similar
user/group configuration.
