Use the steps below to create an additional FTP account in cPanel on your Ecenica web hosting. Extra FTP accounts can be used to give your web developers access without having to provide your main account FTP details, keeping your account safer and more secure.
How-to create a FTP Account
- Log in to cPanel.
- For help accessing your cPanel see Where do I log in to my hosting control panel.
- Click FTP Accounts
- Enter the details for the new FTP user:
- A username for example, john
- Enter or generate a password
- Set the Directory for the user. For security, the FTP user can only access the directory set here. Access to other directories is blocked. By default directory is set to your username. However you can change this. As you type you’ll be able to select the directory from your hosting space. For example:
- Enter public_html to access your primary website files.
- Enter addondomain.com to access your addon domain website files. Replacing addondomain.com with your actual directory.
- Leaving directory empty will allow access to all your files in your hosting account.
- Optional: Set a maximum quota for the FTP user.
- Click Create FTP Account
