I want to change the root path for the directory to another folder, I know this needs to be modified in the folderPath routine, however exactly where? The issue is that I don't want people who can ftp files up to the site to be able to "see" the original root directory as the default.

You should probably lock people down to one folder only. If you let them change folders, they can still get you into trouble.

I think it would be good to add a new permission to control which users will have access to the File Manager.

This requires more than 1 change. You have to scrub the File Manager project and make sure you change everything related to chaning directories.

Make sure you set up security on this module. I can't even guess how many people don't understand Windows authentication, and have left this module wide open for use by anyone! The smartest choice is to change it to use Forms authentication, so it will behave like the other modules.

Exactly, but the issue is that I don't want people in the actual root directory of the application which is there by default. So where are those changes made, in the folderPath sub routine or somewhere else?

When you give them a link to the File Manager, just specify the folder in the link:
http://www.thephile.com/Modules/File...?Folder=/Books

Of course they can still change to the root folder if you don't disable it.
