Hi,
Some of my friends and me working on a project. I want to authorized them
to work with particular directories of my account. how can i do it?
To create a new FTP subaccount:
* Select FTP User link in FTP/User Account menu.
* At the bottom of the page that shows, find FTP sub-accounts and click the Add icon.
* On the next page, enter the FTP login and password that will be used by this other user, and the directory this user will be restricted to.
The directory must be relative to your home directory. If you leave the directory field empty, FTP sub-users will have access to your whole home directory.
FTP subaccount traffic is a part of the Total/Summary traffic, but you can always see how much FTP traffic has been run up by an individual FTP subaccount by going to the FTP Manager page and clicking the Edit icon next to the subaccount login.
U can also use Virtual FTP
Virtual FTP provides ampler possibilities than FTP sub-accounts. You can give your authorized Virtual FTP users access to more than one directory and specify a different set of permissions for each directory. Virtual FTP users log right into your root, but can enter only those directories you allow them to enter.
To provide Virtual FTP Access to a certain domain, do the following:
1. If you are using a dedicated IP, skip this step. Otherwise, switch to dedicated IP.
2. Select FTP in FTP/User Account menu.
3. Enable FTP for this domain, If you have several domains, choose the one to enable virtual FTP for.
4.Click the confirmation link to agree with the charges.
5. On the next page, add server name for the new virtual host. This name will appear in the welcome message when guest 
users connect to your server with FTP clients. Also, enter the e-mail address by which FTP users can reach you with questions or comments.
6.Click the Edit icon for FTP for this domain.
7. Click the Add icon for Virtual FTP Users and create a new Virtual FTP User
8. Click the Add icon for Virtual FTP Directories and enter the name for the new Virtual FTP Directory
End it with a slash, e.g.: Dir1/. The location must be specified relative to root. To create a virtual FTP directory inside a different directory, include the path, for example UserDirs/Dir1/.
On the same page, specify permissions to this directory:
Read: check to allow file downloads from this directory.
Write: check to allow file uploads to this directory. List: check to allow viewing / browsing the contents of the directory. It is usually used jointly with Read.
Grant Permissions to all users: check to grant these permissions to all your Virtual FTP users. If you leave this property unchecked, you will have to define permissions on this directory individually for each Virtual FTP User.
9.Click the Edit icon next to the directory you have just created. If you haven’t granted the same permissions to all your Virtual FTP Users, you can specify permissions for each of them individually:
If you have chosen to grant the same permissions to all users, you can skip this step.
