I have a multisite install running, but when one of the subdir sites uses "install module" to add a new module, it puts it in the parent site's sites/all/modules directory instead of the /modules directory that I created just for that subdirectory.
Is there a way to get D7 (probably same problem in D6) to have a subdir user install themes and modules in his or her own /sites/modules or sites/themes folder so they don't get installed into the main /sites directory?

I know I can manually isolate themes and modules by FTP into the specific subdir folder. But I'm wondering why the install feature in D7 puts files into the sites/all folders instead of into the subdir-specific folder from which the install is requested.
hope that makes sense.
OK, I do see that the install
OK, I do see that the install on the UI feature can be turned off by uncommenting this line:
$conf['allow_authorize_operations'] = FALSE;
So perhaps that's the best I can do (so that sub dir users don't install modules and themes on the main site).
I figure though that there is some alias or sym link or something that can direct the UI to put the theme or module in its own folder and not in the parent sites/all folder.
