    Default changing an ftp login

    hello.

    when creating an ftp account, why are the login names 'yadayada@domain.com'? Is there a way to change the login names for new ftp accounts?

    i should've been a bit more specific...

    how do I add an ftp account without it including @domain.com at the end of it?

    Hi

    I do not think it is possible as the domain name serves as an identifier. You do not want to ftp to say "yadayada". You want to FTP "yadayada" "at domain.com

    So, the address would be yadayada@domain.com

    Hope someone will correct me if I am wrong.

    Hope this helps

    correct. the domain name must be there.
    alternative is to have dedicated IP to your site, and you can ftp://ipaddress...
    thus elimitate the need for domain name.

    i try this at my other hosting plan. yup it can
