How can I create a user for FTP access?

All I want is to be able to have someone else access one of my subdomains. When I create a new user, it gives that user some weird directory. When I give account privileges, that seems closer to what I want, but as far as I can tell, it doesn't create a new FTP account that can access my subdomain. How can I do this?

Only one user can have full access easily.

If you want the new user to have full FTP access of the entire subdomain:


Panel > Domains > Manage Domains

- Click Edit under WebHosting for the subdomain in question

- FTP user / CGI-runs-as user: [select new user]

- Copy domain's files to new user? [Checked]

- Click Fully host this domain now!
