Default Different FTP Access

I created an FTP account for a user to access their own addon domain, but now it isn't working. I used CPanel to create it and it worked at first, taking them to their domain. Now it isn't working.

Here is a different issue:

How do I create a guest access folder for people to Upload and Download stuff with a password?

Like ftp.sshado.com
username: guest
password: guest

takes you to a folder like www.sshado.com/upload/


Also, is there a way to let them use FTP without having to use my main account?

Currently it is like this:

ftp.weizguy.org
username: sshado@weizguy.org

is there a way to make it like this:

ftp.sshado.com
username: Sshado

???

My main account is weizguy.org sshado.com is an addon domain.

thanks,

Weizguy

Default Re: Different FTP Access

Ftp usernames are always in the format user@domain.com, except the main cpanel ftp. They are also independent of domain name, so you may point them anywhere using the ftp setup.

If you only say that it first works and then does not work it's impossible to say what is wrong.
Have you tried from different locations?

No.
Remember that it is a shared server, the username must be like user@yourdomain.com because that is the way how the FTP server knows that the account is in your account.
