Hello,

I was wondering if someone could tell me how to add users to a sub domain. I use CPANEl and WHM and this is what I want to do,

I want to have 1 domain name but I then want to add users to a sub domain and allow ftp access only to that sub domain.

Ex:
when user:test logs in he goes directly to the sub domain test.xxx.com with no access to the domain except his sub domain. Also is their a way to limit his account size and bandwidth?

I would appreciate anyones help

Thank You
Doug

is it your server?
If so, just edit /etc/proftpd/username
You'll see something like this
username:657.1OuZoSCI6:32003:504:username:/home/username/public_html/username:/bin/ftpsh

Change the path of the text on bold

No it isnt my server. I have ssh access but not root. In my cpanel when I go to set up ftp accounts it tells me I can have them point to sub domains. I am just not sure how. Will I need root access?

Doug

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood your question

you need to create a ftp account with the same name than the subdomain

Ex
subdomain: test.domain.com
FTP account must be: test

To login to the ftp account you must use test@yourdomain.com

Thank for the quick help. Do you know if their is a way to control the size of the ftp account. so they would only be able to have about 10 mgs of space.

you need to create a ftp account with the same name than the subdomain

Does this mean I create the ftp account first or the sub domain or it doesnt matter?

And also could they log in using an ftp client like ws_ftp?

Thanks Again
Doug

As far as I know it's impossible to set limits to subdomain, not in space neither in BW.
And yes, you can use any FTP client

Thanks Again For your help. Does it matter which I create first either the sub domain or the ftp account?
