Can I create a ftp user account?

[scialom]

Hello,

I need to create a ftp user account using php. Is it possible?

The main idea is when users register to my site, it automatically creates them a ftp account.

Any ideas?

That depends entirely on the configuration of your FTP server.

If you configure your FTP server (e.g. Proftpd) to use a users database stored in MySQL, for instance, it should be as easy as inserting a row.

If it relies on system accounts, that could be trickier - you'd need to create a system account.
