How do I create and manage additional FTP accounts?

With the control panel (cPanel) you can create additional FTP accounts, each with its own username and password, and each giving secure access to a specific directory of your hosting account. Note that every hosting account already has a default FTP account, whose details are sent to you in your welcome e-mail after your account is opened. How to create an additional FTP account 1. Sign in to cPanel 2. Under the Files heading, click FTP Accounts 3. In the Add FTP Account form, give: 1. Login: an arbitrary username for access to the FTP account. Example: jean89 2. Password: a secure password to connect by FTP (you can click Generate Password to generate a secure password automatically, or choose another one). Example: secur8302 3. Directory: the directory this user will have access to by FTP. This directory becomes the root of the FTP account in question, letting the user reach every subdirectory inside it, but preventing access to any other directory or file. Example: public_html/jean 4. Quota: the amount of data (in megabytes) the user can store on the account in question. Leave it at Unlimited so as not to limit the space available. Example: 100 4. Click Create 5. Take note of the information shown on the confirmation page; you will need it to connect by FTP (the password is not shown).
