Subject: [PATCH] doc: eliminate the phrase "rootcap" from
 doc/frontends/FTP-and-SFTP.rst Two different people have asked me for help,
 saying they couldn't figure out what a "rootcap" is. Hopefully just calling
 it a "cap" will make it easier for them to find out from the other docs what
 it is.

 Since Tahoe-LAFS does not use user accounts or passwords, the FTP/SFTP
 servers must be configured with a way to first authenticate a user (confirm
 that a prospective client has a legitimate claim to whatever authorities we
-might grant a particular user), and second to decide what root directory cap
+might grant a particular user), and second to decide what directory cap
 should be granted to the authenticated username. A username and password is
 used for this purpose. (The SFTP protocol is also capable of using client RSA
 or DSA public keys, but this is not currently implemented.)
 
-Tahoe-LAFS provides two mechanisms to perform this user-to-rootcap

-second is an HTTP-based login mechanism, backed by simple PHP script and a
-database. The latter form is used by allmydata.com to provide secure access
-to customer rootcaps.
