Too easy to delete public_html via FTP user window

[akmiecik]

Was creating FTP user to access public_html.
CPanel FTP Accoutns creates user and automatically creates directory with user name.
I wanted to access public_html to I deleted the user name in the direcotry field.
Had issues with FileZilla so, not thinking, I decided to start over and went and deleted the user which, in turn, deleted public_html (yea, there is a confirmation screen but, since I had just done it for the personal FTP directory I was not paying attention)

Bottom line:
It was far to easy to delete the public_html directory via this process. Is there way you can prevent the public_html directory from being deleted via the FTP Accounts screen?

Thanks

Not that I'm aware of.

Not that I'm aware of.

So, you are not aware of how to prevent the entire contents of the public_html directory from being deleted when you are just deleting a single FTP account from within Cpanel? How could that be?

Our hosting company suggested that it may be an intended behavior. I find that idea to be ludicrous and extremely dangerous!

If, when deleting an individual FTP account, which consists of a separate directory from public_html, the entire contents of the public_html directory is removed, then that function is BROKEN!

WHY does this happen? Why are you not aware of something being done to fix it?

I would love to know the answer to these questions.

Thanks,

If, when deleting an additional FTP account normally, when you click delete, a large options screen expands and displays two messages:

Delete account accountname?

And

Delete account accountname
and delete all files under
/home/username/accountname ?

Your next click, decides what happens to your files.

I don't see anything broken in either of those messages that are clear, and plain to see.
