Hi, In the cPanel UI we have the option to create an Addon Domain without creating an FTP account (default option). This means it's possible to add addon domains to a package with a FTP account limit of zero. But running the cPAPI2 AddonDomain function on the same account fails, requiring a FTP account limit greater than zero. Is there an extra parameter we can use with cPAPI2 AddonDomain function to bypass the FTP account limit? [CODE=bash]cpanelresult: apiversion: 2 data: - reason: You have exceeded the maximum allowed FTP (File Transfer Protocol) accounts. result: 0 error: You have exceeded the maximum allowed FTP (File Transfer Protocol) accounts. event: result: 1 func: addaddondomain module: AddonDomain

  Hello,

  This is a 5 years old threads resurrection, but the solution is to specify ftp_is_optional value when calling the API.

  You have to put ftp_is_optional = 1.

  I hope this will help someone one day.
