How to create an FTP Account?

Follow these steps:

  • Login to your control panel
  • Choose FTP Accounts

    Note: While the username will be created using your Main Domain, you may use any of your domain names instead.

    Example: If I created the username "username@mydomain.com" and I wanted to create an FTP account for addon.com I would enter the following:

    • Username: username@mydomain.com

    Then in my FTP client I would enter the following

    • Host: addon.com
    • Username: username@addon.com
  • Enter a "Login": username
  • Enter the Password as needed
  • Choose the Directory you'd like them to have access to.

Note: If you enter "/", this will give full access to all the hosting files. The path for the primary domain is "/public_html/", and "/public_html/addondomain/" for an Addon domain. To determine the proper directory for an Addon domain, please check your "Domain Manager" tab, at the top of your cPanel.
