The user path is the virtual path of each user. The user path can only be seen by the user himself. The user's virtual path always starts from the user's home path "/" ("/" is also called as root path). When creating a new user, you can assign a real path to be associated with the user's home path "/". If you don't assign a real path for the user's home path "/", this user will have a dummy home path "/" without any real path associated with it. In that case, files can not be uploaded to this dummy home path "/", because there is no real path associated with it. But virtual paths can be added directly under this dummy home path "/", for example, a virtual path with the name "/myfolder".
Note: If the user's home path "/" has an associated real path, but this real path doesn't exist when the user logs in for the first time, Xlight FTP Server will create it automatically. Automatically creating not existing real path only works for the home path "/". It won't work for other virtual paths added under the home path "/".
