    Default ftp accounts for subdirectories

    Is it possible to make ftp accounts for subdirectories?
    so &public_html/images/gallery& would have an ftp account.

    its possible for public_html/gallery but not public_html/images/gallery. To do this, create an ftp user in cpanel named gallery ( or whatever the directory is ) and the user will only be able to log into that directory.

    I know it's possible for /gallery, but are you sure it's not possible for images/gallery?

    it is possible this way:

    1) create an additional account like 'gallery'

    2) in a SSH session :
    rm -rf /home/user-name/public_html/gallery
    ln -s /home/user-name/public_html/images/gallery /home/user-name/public_html/gallery

    then gallery user can log in and update /public_html/images/gallery

    looks like you create additional FTP account for /home/user/public_html/images/gallery
