Hello community
I have been using /scripts/ftpupdate to update cPanels FTPD accounts for YEARS, really, but recently It is no longer adding users to its ftp config files.
I tried many steps including using cpanels adduser script - that didnt work either.
So I try something else
I can then FTP no problem, great! But once 'ftpupdate' is ran BAM its gone!
What gives? Did cPanel really change? It looks that way to me, so how does one create a normal - adduser - account with FTP access these days?
Thank you for your assistance.

- Add a user using 'adduser', ie 'adduser ftptest'
- Set a password, 'passwd ftptest'
- Run the script from cPanel '/scripts/ftpupdate'
- Try to FTP, can you? We used to, not anymore!
I tried many steps including using cpanels adduser script - that didnt work either.
So I try something else
- locate the user in the /etc/shadow file
- copy their full line
- paste it in /etc/proftpd/passwd.vhosts
I can then FTP no problem, great! But once 'ftpupdate' is ran BAM its gone!
