Hi there,

How are you?

Is it possible to use this script to make cpanel ftp account.

Hello Moshe,

thank you for sharing your script :)

I implemented your function in a backend system, but find that after I create a new FZ user using the script, I have a hard time logging in using FZ client. Did you experience anything similar ?

Best regards,
Mark
