You can connect to FTP using your cpanel username and password or you can create new FTP account.
-
Log into cPanel
-
In the Files section, click FTP Accounts.
-
In the Login field, type the name of the FTP user. A full FTP user name will be formatted as user@domain.tld.
You cannot create an FTP account without your main domain name in it, regardless of the publish destination.
-
In the Password fields, enter a password which will be used to authenticate this FTP account.
-
In the Directory field, cPanel will auto-populate an assumed directory based on the FTP username.
If you want to create username which should have access to the home user directory you need to type ./ in the field. The FTP user will not be able to navigate outside of the specified directory but they will be able to access all files and subfolders inside that folder.
- Set a quota for the FTP account. Quota is the maximum amount of bandwidth the FTP user may use.
The FTP Connection Requires Username and Password.
-
Open Firefox or Google Chrome
-
In the locator bar, type ftp://username@domain:password@domain.com
