I've several blog hosting under Wordpress Multisite
http:// yourdomain.com/
http:// yourdomain.com/user1/
http:// yourdomain.com/user2/
The Wordpress root is installed under
/var/host/yourdomain.com/public/
However, i would like to create a static html folder to include some static html files
http:// yourdomain.com/user1/STATIC_FOLDER/css/ *.*
http:// yourdomain.com/user1/STATIC_FOLDER/images/ *.*
http:// yourdomain.com/user1/STATIC_FOLDER/index.html
I've also created a sub folders to allow user to FTP directly
/var/host/yourdomain.com/public/user1/STATIC_FOLDER/ *.*
Would somebody be able to advise me on the editing of htaccess? or recommend any plugins, or workaround to enable this? appreciate any help thanks!

Here is the official guide to install a MU

However the folder layout you suggest doesn't work this way.
You can do this but your static folders will have to be placed in the blog.dir You could even consider that users upload these files with the normal uploader.
I have found a way for this...
Basically i've edited the htaccess
RewriteRule ^user1/STATIC_FOLDER/(.*)$ user1/STATIC_FOLDER/$1 [NC,L]
First i've to understand how to edit htaccess, here's a good tutorial

The "$1" in the substitution tells Apache to put whatever matched the earlier bracketed () pattern into the URL at this point
For Regular Expression here's a good tips - Regex for htaccess...
