Can I add FTP user to an ADDon Domain?

Postby Terry on Fri Feb 05, 2010 2:13 pm

Hi,

I have an account, say www.mydomain.com.au, and I have just added www.myaddondomain.com.au.

I can create email addresses for the my add on doamin, ie fred@myaddondomain.com.au but I don't get any choice via cPanel to add an FTP account for myaddondomain.com.au, just for fred@mydomain.com.au.

Is it possible via cPanel or some other means to have an FTP account for Fred@myadddomian.com.au?

Thanks,
Terry

Hi Terry,

It is possible to create an FTP account to access only the add on domain.

When you create the add on domain, you are asked to select an FTP username (this field is populated automatically but you can modify it).

Once you have done that you will need to go to 'FTP Accounts' in cPanel. The login that you enter is the the one you selected for the add on domain.

Then you will need to specify the directory that you want to access with that FTP account. In this case the directory will be '/public_html/myaddondomain.com.au' to only allow access to the add on domain.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Unfortunately it doesn't solve my requirement of being able to set up a FTP account of whatever@addondomain.com.au so that the person using the account only sees their domain and not that of the account i have original set up with unlimited-space.com

There is also no provisions for a drop down box to select domains under the FTP add account like there is for creating email addresses.

Thanks,
Terry

Hi,

I found a solution that appears to work fine.

Create an FTP account using whatever@mydomain.com.au as per normal. Then just tell the end user to use whatever@myaddondomain.com.au and when they logon it will use the whatever@mydomain.com.au userid by default.

Regards,
Terry
