Create ftp account

[Youngpower]

I'have been searching trough this forum and google, but didn't find an answer.

I want to create ftp accounts with the API function of DA...

Can someone give me an example how to make this in PHP?

Thank You

<?
//als eerst includen wij de socket zodat we die kunnen gebruiken 
include("httpsocket.php"); 

//nou de socket is geinclude kunnen we hem starten 
$sock = new HTTPSocket; 

//nu gaan we inloggen in Direct Admin (verander wel de gegevens) 
$sock->connect('youngpower.be',2222); 
$sock->set_login('admin','************); 

$sock->set_method('POST'); 

//hier komt dalijk de code om iets te gaan doen met de gegevens 

$sock->query('/CMD_API_FTP',  
    array(
'action' => 'create',
'domain' => 'youngpower.be',
'user' => 'test',
'type' => 'custom',
'path' => '/home/admin/domains/youngpower.be/public_html/fotos',
'passwd' => 'test',
'passwd2' => 'test'

));

$result = $sock->fetch_body();  
echo $result;
?>

This is what I have found, if i use type 'user', it works. But when I user 'custom' I get the following error:

error=1&text=Error executing your request&details=That is not a valid path. Either it is not in your home directory, it doesn't exist, it contains symbolic links, or it contains invalid characters<br>

Any idea somebody?

I get the same error when trying to just create a custom path for a new ftp account:



That is not a valid path. Either it is not in your home directory, it contains symbolic links, or it contains invalid characters


any solution?

I'm giving this a little bump - I'm getting exactly the same error.

I'm not a huge fan of thread necrology, but any ideas on this?

Hello,

'path' is actually supposed to be called:

custom_val

If you check the html form in DA for any command you want to use, the API version is usually exactly the same.

Good lord, why didn't I think of looking at the field value.
Thanks ever so much! This has made my day!

Why isn't this working with the newest versions of directadmin?

I need to create extra ftp users but cant get it to work
