Creating FTP account for seperate domain on paid hosting?

[Hermoine22]

Hello
I am looking to give access to my directory for a seperate website I have on my infinity account hosting package. I bought a domain for a seperate website, in which is being created by a family member. I was wondering how I allow her access to upload the files to website? do I create a FTP account under that?

when you add the domain as an addon domain (which sounds like the proper way to add it for your scenario), cPanel will automatically create an ftp account for the domain, pointed to that folder.

Typically it would look like: domainname@maindomian.com, so if you are adding the domain familymember.com and your main domain is mydomain.com it would be: familymember@mydomain.com for login username on that ftp account, together with the password you set during the process of adding the domain.

can I add two addon domains like my current main domain is www.bookworm-central.com but I bought another domain for another site off the same host how do I go about it?

it says that my other ftp is sibiudeli@bookworm-central.com that is for my other domain www.sibiudeli.com

On premium you can add as many addon domains as you like, there's no limit.

The part about addon domains and parked domains is the same for premium and free hosting, so you can get more information at: http://x10hosting.com/wiki/How_to_Use_Your_Own_Domain

it says that my other ftp is sibiudeli@bookworm-central.com that is for my other domain www.sibiudeli.com

Yes, that would be the default way for cPanel to handle ftp accounts, they are always created like username@maindomain.com

For some reason it wont let me connect to the server for that ftp

since you have a premium account, you might be better of to ask for support regarding connectivity on that ftp account through there. what are you using as host for that ftp account?

There can only be one main domain.

filezilla
