You can make the base directory easily by ftp’ing in first and creating the directory. Next, open the web interface and set the base directory for the sub-account to the one you just created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To use rsync a directory to the storage box:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

rsync -aze 'ssh -p 23' directory-name-here u2xxxxx-sub5@u2xxxxx.your-storagebox.de:<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
To use rsync a directory from the storage box into the current directory (signified by a single dot)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
rsync -aze 'ssh -p 23' u2xxxxx-sub5@u2xxxxx.your-storagebox.de: .<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
