FTP Issue

[Kotadiatu]

Hey guys, new to this forum - and I'd love to start my new venture here with a good question!

Current I run a website that has been running well for many years. At the moment, we're working on an automated API for a virtual poker system that works off our database. Everything works well, however it's a pain always uploading the files as the creator is from the United States, and I am from Australia.
The creator is currently a moderator, and I'm trying to create an FTP account that has access only to the designated folder. Here is where I am trying to direct it to:

/home/admin/domains/website.com/public_html/vb/poker/

When I try to create the account (custom) - I get the following error:

Cannot Execute Your Request

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

How can I combat this, and create the FTP account that I do so desire.


Thanks,
Kotadiatu

You have this path: /home/admin/domains/website.com/public_html/vb/poker/

Are you trying to creating the ftp account from a regular user account, or are you actually logon as "admin" user? Remember you can't add that admin user path when creating ftp accounts from inside a regular user account.
