I can view my page but how do you set up the users so they can upload from ftp? Is this through SSH?

Well if you are going to use FTP then for each user that will be able to upload files, place there home directory in the path that you placed there site in.
IE

Username bob

There normal home directory is /home/bob

but there webroot is /usr/local/web/users/bob

in your FTP app when you make the user bob, place the above path in there home directory.

The simplest way is to make the webroot in there normal directory.
/home/bob/www

Depending on the level of competence of your users and the need to protect against sniffed passwords, you can either set up an ftp daemon, or you can use scp/sftp through ssh.

That made it much easier to understand. Thank you very much
