Hello,
Is it possible to use same FTP user name for multiple account; for eg: main user name for one account and additional FTP for another account.
The reason I asked it is - I was able to create accounts on some servers and some servers returned "user name reserved" error - conceptually it should work though....
But I met with an issue on the server on which I was able to create two accounts. I will explain it...
We have an account a.com with user name a; we have another account b.com with user name b and b.com has a dedicated IP. Then I created an additional FTP user for b.com, "a".
So when I attempted to FTP to the server using b.com as the host and simply "a" as the user name( additional FTP for b.com ) and the corresponding password I was able to login to the homedir of the additional FTP user.
But the problem is cPanel consider the login as "[email protected]"( the main user) and it will add the resource usage(like bandwidth) to the main account "a". I am pretty not sure whether this will cause any other issues and the additional user will gain the access of a.com files(since it has different UID, it won't I guess). But the cPanel side looks weird.
Please advice.
Thank you.
