When you create the folder

Go to cPanel >> FTP ... >> Add new account >> Fill in boxes and it should say select directory somewhere... Select the sitename folder then wallah.

Exactly

Theres an option in the FTP account creation form where you can select the directories that account can access :)
it'll be like

public_html/sitename

i didnt explain enough.

I've done that, but the address to go to is [email protected] and I want it to be shortened :P

Buy a sort domain?

you can't shorten it from what it is already, unless you buy a domain and add it onto your cpanel account.

Can I ask something? how can you need help with something like this..

It's a lot easier if you use a ftp programme, use FileZilla.

No, otherwise your sentence would become:

That was uncalled for anyway, Calon.

Programme isn't always associated with television.

Calon is an extremely funny guy, he likes to show people up but most of the time he just looks like an idiot.

He's so sure that you can't take screenshots with PHP he decides to even swear about it, and then he gets proved wrong. Oh Calon, how do you feel?

It was the start of his sentance.

No it wasn't....

Anyway, Calon is funny a lot of the time ;) He means no harm ;)

I dont think this thread needs much more discussion, I don't know why anyone said anything about an ftp program (or "programme") but that has nothing to do with what he asked.

The domain in the username cannot be shorted, the only solution is adding a new domain as an addon domain to your account and you can create e-mails for it and I think you should be able to create ftp usernames using it (the solution).
