Sorry for my bad english

[DirectAdmin Support]

Hello,

Just to confirm, the /etc/proftpd.passwd somehow contains one email message instead of the list of ftp accounts?

If that's the case, one option is to either do a restore from the User Level -> Site Backup, for each user on the system (would have to login to each DA account and do it).. but only select to restore the ftp accounts, so nothing else is affected.

If you don't have bacukps, or thing that may be too much work, the only other option is to manually re-add all data (after clearing out the file of that email), in the form:

[email protected]:cryptedpass:123:456:domain:/home/username/domains/domain.com/user:/bin/false

for each and every ftp account you want to restore. Change the user@domain to the value you need to... the 123 is the UID and the 456 is the GID ... the 2nd last path value is wherever you want the ftp account to go to. This would be a very painstakingly long process if you have many accounts.

If you have User Backups, I'd recommend using them.
