Anyone can help with ftp account username?

[hkimac]

Hi,

I want to have ftp account name as follows...

"abcd"
"1234"

not "[email protected]"
not "[email protected]"

Since MS win XP's built in ftp can't deal with 2 @s.

Even if changing the @ to a + or # wouldn't work.
It would be very trouble for users in windows to download new software just to use ftp.

Is there any way that I can change the username? manually?

Thanks in advance.

What do you mean by two @ symbols? Each address has only one @ symbol.

If you shell into your system and create a username with adduser (see man adduser) you can have a username of abcd or 1234.

What i was trying to say about 2 @ symbol is..

To open a ftp server in Win XP...
ftp://<username>@<servername>
ftp://[email protected]@ftp.domain.com

Since DA can only have username as
"[email protected]" not
"abcd"

I've been playing with useradd, however, it does not create an ftp account.

Furthermore, it wouldn't be shown in DA.

Create a 2nd FTP account for a user, in DA - then copy that users line from /etc/proftpd.passwd replacing the @ in the username with a #

Another feature that needs to be implemented

Thanks, it's ok now.

It would be best if we can create a ftp account without domain name at the back.

Can we manually edit some files to change the default setting for creating username?

Instead of [email protected] can we change the default to abcd#domain.com?

Thanks.

Hello,

There is nothing available to accomplish that at this time.
