I have a "business package" with 1and1, and currently, any new users I want to give ftp access to must be uXXXXXXXX-___ where X is a number and _ is whatever I specify. Is it possible to get around the uXXXXXXXX requirement, and set a username to be whatever I want it to be? If that's not possible, what is the reason for having a mandatory prefix like this?
