ftp accounts

[masauf]

I'm trying to set up my site to allow a friend to upload images (which are then displayed on one of the pages), however, I don't want him to be able to access the actual code, so I created a second ftp account

I'm able to use filezilla to access the root account (although I had to set it up manually), but it doesn't work for any other one I've tried creating.

Host: [mysite].x10hosting.com
Port: 21
Servertype: FTP
User: pictureadmin (name I'm using, for now, for the second ftp account)
Password: [mypassword]


Output:

Status: Resolving address of [mysite].x10hosting.com

Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...

Command: USER pictureadmin

I've tried multiple times, with different passwords and account names, so far only the root account works.

Any suggestions?

for the user, add @[mysite].x10hosting.com at the end of it.

cPanel requires the website name in the url to separate accounts (2 cPanel account can both have a FTP user called root without problem then).

It works, thanks.
