Creating FTP accounts / directories

If you are looking to create a subdirectory with FTP access to it, the default behavior works great, but it should be done in a specific order:

First, create the FTP account. Creation of an FTP account in the control panel automatically creates a similarly named directory in your space. This is the only directory that the FTP user will have access to. This is the generally desired behavior anyway.

Then, make that directory a subdirectory to allow the user to reference their space with a simple URL like:

http://subuser.yourdomain.com
