accessing addon domain files using the IP address for FTP

[vandiermen]

I can use ftp://seehereo@74.220.207.60/public_html to access my main domain

But what I want to do is give this kind of IP address to the people that have addon domains with me!!

I have tried: ftp://addondomainname@74.220.207.60/public_html

I have tried: ftp://addondomainname@74.220.207.60/public_html/addondomainname

I dont know why I cant use these addresses. Anyone know what to do? thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! your time is appreciated

What i do is like this

example my main domain names bugsbunny.com
and my addon domain names donaldduck.us

what first i do is go to cpanel >FTP Manager>FTP Account

and create new FTP account :
ex : login = donaldduck
Password = myloverdesi
Quota = 10 GB
Directory: donaldduck

after u created its automaticlly look like this
donaldduck@bugsbunny.com (/donaldduck)

soo u can use FTP application like Cute ftp or else with configuration like this :

FTP Host address : donaldduck.us
FTP Site user name : donaldduck@bugsbunny.com
FTP site Password : myloverdesi

ftp://donaldduck@bugsbunny.com/public_html/donaldduck

I have tried this many times with different accounts, all which have had FTP set up for them automatically. If I use the wrong user name and password it prompts me to put it in again, if I use the correct user name and password it says: FTP Folder error, An error occurred opening the folder on the FTP server. Make sure you have permission to access the folder.
Details:
550 Can't change directory to /public_html/sitefoldername/: No such file or directory

I suppose my question would be why do you want to use IP addresses? Why not just use the domain name for FTP access?

Maybe I do not understand what you mean by, Why not just use the domain name for FTP access? but..

Because I find that it is convenient to give a URL to the people I give a domain to, so that they do not have to download, install and learn how to use a FTP Program!

The guy above seemed to be able to use URLs to access his site addon domains this way, I dont see why I cant.

The correct URL syntax for ftp access is ftp.domainname.com
The login syntax is 'username@thedomainname.com'
followed by password.

It's shown in the FTP manager in your Cpanel
