[FTP PROBLEM] Partially resolved, A Directadmin problem remains

Hi all

My problem of the day is the following :

i have a user xxxx with a domain lets say xxxx.net
this user needed a specific ftp home access named xxxx.net (his old server's access which is used in his softwares) which i managed to create :
i therefore have in proftpd.passwd file the following :
xxxx:thispassword:503:504:system:/home/xxxx:/bin/false (the one Da had created)
xxxx.net:this2ndpassword:503:504:system:/home/xxxx:/bin/false
(the one i had created manually)

The problem i had which needed this post at origin was to create a third system home ftp access. I resolved it finally,when checking directory, and seeing i have mistyped it's name... wwhhoooo the newbie

But at this stage i have a directadmin problem :
In directadmin , the 2nd login xxxx.net and the 3rd login xxxxmyaccess does not appear in the list of added ftp access .... Is there a reason for that....

What should i do to resolve this ???

Thks for your help

Are the ftp accounts working for you?

Where don't you see them in DA?

Is it important that you see them in DA? That you control them through DA?

In user Panel, under the users account, on menu ftp administration, when i list all ftp acess created for this user, i only see the original system ftp acess created by DA.
All those created manually in proftpd.passwd do not appear in this listing.

Personnaly i don't need it (because i manage to make my way round with shell commands) but our users, and mostly the rest of the team who are not server admins and most of all know even less linux shell commands than me (and yet i still remain a grand newbie), would prefer the DA interface to manage information.

So in this way i'd answer yes to you.

In any case it seems weird that DA accepts only one system ftp access, others having to be domain or custom accesses, when it is yet supported by proftpd...

This is why i believe this should be looked after...but there agains i'm too newbie to judge...

I could be wrong ( I am sometimes ), but DA might be looking for the @${domainname} in the proftpd.passwd file to associate it with that account. Of course the userid would might have been a better choice, but since a single user could have more than one domain, it looks for the @${domainname}. Since I don't have the source code for DA, I could be wrong. Try adding one with the login name similar to [email protected] and see if it shows up on xxx.net's control panel.

Well i tested, and if @xxxx.net is added manually, it appears indeed in DA control panel. If i remove it once more, it disappears...

This is a missing point in DA, and i am going to ask DA support to check this. normally there should be at least a change password and delete possibility for all ftp accounts created. If for security and simplicity reasons, DA wants only to create one system account as default, this is ok with me, but it should cope at least system ftp access created manually.

Lets see what they think of it
