Create FTP Account (cPanel) Print

  • 1

  1. Log into your cPanel account (yourdomain.com/cpanel)
  2. In the Files section, click FTP Accounts.
  3. In the Login field,type the name of the FTP user. A full FTP user name will always be formatted as user@yourdomain.tld You cannot create an FTP account without your domain name in it, regardless of the publish destination.
  4. In the Password fields, enter a password which will be used to authenticate this FTP account.
  5. Set a quota for the FTP account. Quota is the maximum amount of bandwidth the FTP user may use. If you leave the quota as unlimited, the FTP user will have the ability to use the total amount of bandwidth for the cPanel account.
  6. In the Directoryfield, cPanel will auto-populate an assumed directory based on the FTP username but we recommend leaving it as public_html/ with nothing after it.
    • If you erase everything and type a single "/", the user will have access to your home directory (anything outside of the public_html folder).
