What are the FTP settings for Subdomains?

If you are using Subdomains then you need to configure your FTP program to login with the username format of subdomain@primarydomain.com.

Example: If your main domain is mymainsite.com and you have a Subdomain of subsite.mymainsite.com with the username subsite you would set your FTP client as follows:

Host: ftp.mymainsite.com
Username:subsite@mymainsite.com
Password: The password for subsite as configured in cPanel when you created the subdomain.
