any work around for creating ftp sub-accounts using h-sphere for windows.

Where is the problem? It's not difficult I think the problem is the the FTP ftp.subdomain.mydomain.com has the same pasword of ftp.mydomain.com

Nevermind. It has been fixed apparently. Last edited by tracphil; 08-13-2002 at 12:17 PM.

Now I found that it's possible also make own ftp user for subdomains in your CP ======= ** Go to FTP Manager --> FTP Subaccounts --> Add. Enter in the relevant information For the relative directory enter /subdomain.mydomain.com This will restrict that FTP user to that directory. ====== ** from H-Sphere forum support it's works well

guys i don't follow you. I acutally want to give my clients to upload thier files into their directory, with no access to my root directory which hosts my other domains. Iam talking here about windows server here, not linux or unix which we can create with no big fuss. in my windows plan in H-Sphere there is no Ftp Sub-Accounts as grisu is has said. if it can be done can any one give me a step-by-step guide. hey reseller forum rocks, i had previously posted this thread in hosting software and cp forum but not even one reply.

I'm really a newbie so I'm not sure to be able to help you but I will try Perhaps I have understand wehre is the problem You have done a subdomain (or a third level domain is the same for this problem) for ex: subdomain.mydomain.com Now in your CP you have on the left the option FTP/User account At the bottom you have FTP/user subaccounts you choose ADD you write the USER ex USER1 the URL that will be /subdomain.mydomain.com and the password ex PASSW1 (twice) now you have an ftp account for you user I hope that I have explain well also if .... I'm italian!

hey weberz you did'nt mention that there is no ftp-subaccounts option in WIN2K when you know. I saw your post in h-sphere forum.

On the H-Sphere forums I was not aware we were talking about windows.

I don't think you can in H-Sphere unless the host runs Serv-U and that would be a very very bad idea.. It does support it on the unix. Just not on the windows side as of yet as far as i know.

Windows servers by defualt do not do Sub-FTP accounts... You can get this functionality w a 3rd party FTP Server or there is a addon to IIS for this somewhere.

Posted by rhytha, 08-14-2002, 04:06 PM
martixRS why don't you install the 3rd party stuff??

Posted by MatrixRS, 08-14-2002, 04:37 PM
If you install serv-u then all IIS sites run under one user name very very bad idea. Like windows is not bad enough..LOL At least least this is what Psoft has said. I picked the more secure route..

That is my reasoning as well. Better keep with the plan than deviate much.
