FTP (File Transfer Protocol) lets you upload and manage files using an FTP client like FileZilla.

Creating an FTP Account

1. In cPanel, go to FTP Accounts
2. Under Add FTP Account:
   • Login – The username (will be username@yourdomain.com)
   • Password – Set a strong password
   • Directory – Leave as the default or restrict to a specific folder (e.g. public_html/subfolder)
   • Quota – Optional storage limit
3. Click Create FTP Account

FTP Connection Details

• Server/Host: Your domain or server hostname (e.g. ftp.yourdomain.com or your-server.com)
• Username: The full FTP login (e.g. user@yourdomain.com)
• Password: The password you set
• Port: 21 (standard) or 22 (SFTP if available)

Use SFTP (port 22) when possible for a more secure connection.
