Login into your orignal ftp which is ftp.domain.com, and go to public_html and you should create a folder which is your subdomain name, that will contain your subdomain content.

When you created your subdomain, the folder should have already been created automatically.

i know this...but its for my users who are going to have access to the domain but only their own folder (free hosting)

giovannicosta · 12-31-2006, 08:03 PM

any ideas?

Its usually
ftp.mydomain.com

Then the username that they log will send them to their subdomain

username@mydomain.com

If you want you sub users to have independent ftp access, you can only arrange this in conjunction with your hosting company. The type of control panel software you hosting company uses will determine if this is possible or not.
You need to speak to the hosting company to ask if they can enable the facility for you.
