OK here is what you do. Say your domain is "mydomain.com"

To create a unique ftp account you will go to your control panel > FTP Manager > FTP Accounts > Add FTP Accounts.

Now you want to type in a name for the new ftp account, for example "new1". Then define a password for the new ftp account. Now the new account will be created. To login to the new account its a little different then what you're probably used to. The ftp address will still be your domain, "mydomain.com", but the login user name will now be "new1@mydomain.com" and the password will be the password you set when you created the new ftp account. OK?

so.. no need to add a new sub-domain?

hmm...
after i did what u told me to do....
-----------
i created a sub-domain, therefore a sub-domain folder appeared in the "public_html" folder.. in the sub-domain folder, i could see "cgi-bin" folder with the main domain login account...

but when i login like u said --> "user@domain.com" i only see nothing @_@?
and couldnt upload anything...

Correct. No need to add a sub-domain. If you follow my instructions, you will see what the directory is. In the example I provided, the directory for the new ftp account I told you to create would be "/home/yourdomain.com/public_html/new1"

Got it?

[twstyle]

-_-.. no

still gives me a blank page with ie browser...

what hosting details do i need to give out when im sponsor other ppl? (sub-domain)?

Well I'm not sure what you are saying I'm afraid. I thought you were interested in ftp. So when you create an ftp account as I describe, you can have users or yourself access the folder using an ftp client, such as filezilla, or smartftp. They or you will be able to upload or download data into that folder using the login account and password you define and your domain as your ftp host. As I mentioned, I've never had much luck with internet explorer and ftp.
