You can give others access to your Virtual Private Server by providing them with user accounts. VPS user accounts optionally allow configured users to recieve e-mail at your Virtual Private Server and to upload files to your Virtual Private Server.

• Virtual Private Server E-Mail
• Transferring Files To and From a Virtual Private Server

Creating and Configuring User Accounts
There are several methods you can use to create and configure user accounts on your Virtual Private Servers.

• iManager
  iManager Tools and Wizards allow you to use your own web browser to easily create and configure user accounts.

• Telnet/SSH
  You can create and configure user accounts during a Telnet/SSH session with your Virtual Private Servers. Connect to your Virtual Private Servers via Telnet or SSH and use the following commands.

• vadduser
  Create and modify user accounts using the vadduser command.

  % vadduser

  This interactive utility will guide you step-by-step through the user account creation process.

NOTE: VPS Server A allows only 10 POP e-mail user accounts. The vadduser and vlistuser commands will display a warning when you list or attempt to add more than 10 user accounts on a server A. This applies only to the Server A.

• Choosing a Password
  FTP and e-mail services are added to each user account by default. If you want the user account to have both FTP and e-mail privileges, just hit the "Enter" key when asked to accept the defaults.

  For the user account to have FTP privileges only, deselect the e-mail privileges by entering "mail". For the user account to have e-mail privileges only, deselect the FTP prvileges by entering "ftp". If you need to add a service not currently in the list enclosed by the square brackets ("[ ]"), then type name of the service ("mail" or "ftp") and hit the "Enter" key.

  NOTE: FTP service must be enabled if user account e-mail will be accessed via IMAP.
