2 Questions about FTP Accounts and creating new Users (help)

[DonRevilo]

Hi all.

I can´t find the options I need today, perhaps it is impossible what I want to do?

I hope not.


1.
How can I create an FTP Account for more than one domain?

I need one FTP Account with 5 Domains another one with 10 Domains of 15 domains under this User.


2.
How can I create a user for domains they already exist in another user?

I already created every domain and now I will create the needed users for these domains.

I already found your backup help
http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=58
but this is only for ALL domains under a user.

Hope you can help me.

THX

1. As in one ftp account has access to a specific 5, 10, or 15 domains? I don't think that's possible through the interface.

2. You have to do it by hand currently and either make your own backup of the domains contents delete the domain, create it in the new user and upload the backup. And by backup I mean simply downloding everything of relevance to your personal computer, not using one of the backup tools.
Or you can do everything by hand like moving, setting permissions of the domains/domain.com directory, and modifing DirectAdmin's data files.

I'm currently working on a plugin for this aswell. If all goes well I will have a prototype early next month.

All the domains under a single user share a single FTP account.

So for the above scenario you'd need three separate user accounts, one with 5 domains, one with 10 domains, and one with 15 domains.

When you log in using ftp, instead of changing to the public_html directory, change to the domains directory, then to the directory of the domain you want to work on.

Either wait for Jon's plugin, or do it one of the ways he's mentioned.
