Is there a way to get FTP access for an IPless virtual site on a Cobalt, before I get the domains transfered?

I have a main site with its own IP. Now I've setup a second site on the same IP. I know I can give them access to the control panel (siteadmin) of this new domain, but how can I get my customer to upload his files to the new virtual server?

Just use the ip adress of the main site or give the domainname of your company (only if this url is referring to a website located on the server).

The only thing I'll add is that the site isn't IPless, the IP is the one you assigned to it (the fact that it is shared doesn't really matter in this case).

General info:
When entering a host name for either FTP, POP, or SMTP servers, you can always use *any* domain that is on the server (that works). Once the connection gets to the server, it will be authenticated by the user name and password, and *that* will determine what account mail is downloaded, or what account sends email, or where they end up once the FTP connection is achieved.

Just give your customers the IP address and set up their account.

Due to the way the Raqs handle FTP authentication, you do not need to use the hostname. For example, I can FTP to any of the sites on my machine by using the domain name and login -- even if I do not have an account on that site. The login script will drop the user in their home directory regardless of what hostname they used because it gets resolved to an IP anyway. Raqs used a shared group and user file for all of the sites, so it cannot tell if you telnet or ftp to:
www.mydomain.com
or www.yourdomain.com
If these are virtual sites on the same machine, all users of both sites can login -- they will simple get dropped into their user directory.

Thanks a lot, pals! Your help is really invaluable.
