Hello,
Are you asking for like a master FTP account that can access any of the users site? If this is the case I do not believe this is possible. Use SSH and login as root if you want something similar to this, although I strongly discourage it. I would recommend logging in as admin to the DA CP and then using that click on the reseller and login as them. From there you can use the FileManager to access files. This is the easiest way I know of, but someone else might have another idea.

There are at least two ways to do it, both with important limitations:
1) Allow root ftp access.
This not recommended and is extremely dangerous, as it will pass the root password in cleartext. Think carefully before you do this; it is only a matter of time before your system his compromised; maybe even a short time.
2) Do the same as above, but allow only scp access, not ftp access. Some ftp clients manage scp connections as well.
If I were to do it, which I'm not, I wouldn't use the actual root login but would create another login with root privileges. Remember tha anyone with this username/password can completely destroy your system, either intentionally or accidentally.
