How do I create FTP user without needing domain name

[JimD]

I am new to the DirectAdmin product, and I have an important need to create FTP Usernames WITHOUT the domain name.

The help file says:

You may notice that your FTP username has @yourdomain.com after it. This is because your domain is using a shared IP address. If your web site has its own dedicated (static) IP address, your FTP username will not have @yourdomain.com after it.

I have followed instructions I found elsewhere on this board and was successful at getting an IP address OWNED by a reseller, but when I try to create an FTP user for that domain, I STILL get the "@yourdomain.com" after the FTP Username: field.

What am I missing?

They are virtual users so thats why it works this way.

You can create users at the shell level:

# adduser username

Which will create an ftp user. And an email account as well. And perhaps a login as well.

Read man adduser to see other options.
