Hi,

I have my raq server which has a domain, let's say, domain.com and I have a virtual site called, let's say, vsite1.com

Is it possible for a user to access the FTP using ftp.vsite1.com instead of ftp.domain.com?

Right now, ftp.domain.com is working just fine, but ftp.vsite2.com cannot be found and it doesn't connect. Do I have to modify any DNS settings?

Thanks
Abbas

You can use ftp.domain.com, the server name, the site IP or the server IP.

Just create an A Record.


ftp in A 222.222.222.222 (the actual IP Address)

Do that for the vsite1.com site, in the DNS. So ftp.vsite1.com works. =)

Or just FTP to vsite1.com (w/o the www or ftp part) and it will work. =)

Sorry, I didn't realize you were asking if something is possible. Like Robert said, as long as you set up DNS for the domain, it is possible. If you fail to do this, then the subdomain will not exist, thus not work.
