SOLVED cPAPI2 AddonDomain without FTP?

[smurf]

Hi,

In the cPanel UI we have the option to create an Addon Domain without creating an FTP account (default option). This means it's possible to add addon domains to a package with a FTP account limit of zero.

But running the cPAPI2 AddonDomain function on the same account fails, requiring a FTP account limit greater than zero.

Is there an extra parameter we can use with cPAPI2 AddonDomain function to bypass the FTP account limit?

cpanelresult:
  apiversion: 2
  data:
    -
      reason: You have exceeded the maximum allowed FTP (File Transfer Protocol) accounts.
      result: 0
  error: You have exceeded the maximum allowed FTP (File Transfer Protocol) accounts.
  event:
    result: 1
  func: addaddondomain
  module: AddonDomain

Hi there @smurf !

The cPanel UI is using an undocumented parameter called ftp_is_optional. To bypass the FTP quota check as a precondition, set the value of the parameter to 1.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I'll make sure we get that parameter documented.
