An FTP account is basically used to upload / manage your files on your web site. By, default an ftp account is created automatically when you sign up for hosting or create an account for a user. You can give different people access to modify certain files and not others by giving permissions to only edit or access a particular directory. You must create an FTP account for the user to do so. To create an FTP account, please do the following:
Open Cpanel
- Click FTP Manager
- Click FTP Accounts
- Click Add FTP Account
- To the right of ?Login:? Type the name of the ftp user. Please note, the full ftp user name will be ?user@domain.extention?
- To the right of ?Password:?, Please provide a password which will be used to access this ftp account.
- To the right of ?Quota?, please provide the amount of space you would like the user to have. Please note, If you leave at unlimited , the user will have ability to only use upto the total amount of space for your account.
- To the right of ?Director/home/user/public_html?, Please provide a directory for which you would like the user to access to. If you leave it blank, the user will have access to full ?Public_HTML? directory.
Click Create
You have now just set up an FTP account
