Let us specify the root for a new SFTP account

This is such a basic feature that exists on any cPanel hosting plan. Simply allow us to set the root folder for a new SFTP accounts for an application.

I have software that automatically uploads to the SFTP but the upload fails because your default root (applcations/(appname) is not writable. Simply add a field to let us specify where the root for he new SFTP we just created will be (i.e. applications/(appname)/public_html/newfolder

I cannot stress enough how useful this will be for us developers and will make the CloudWays experience more robust and scalable.

This is one of of the most prolific and most interesting setup and I hope to see https://erkconstruction.ca which pointed us out to the point which are pretty relevant.

I've been waiting for CW to add this features for a while. I run into this issue all the time when running crons on the server and the root isn't writable.

I agree this is a must.
