Introduction
You can add FTP accounts to access your website faster over the internet. Generally in control panels, an FTP account is automatically created for an account you add as an Addon domain. Additionally, you can add FTP accounts up to your package limit from your control panel. Below we will practice adding an FTP account and connecting through it using the cPanel control panel.
Creating an FTP Account
You need to write the name of your FTP account in the “login” field. “Domain” allows you to select when you have more than one account (addon domain). “Directory” shows the directory where your FTP account will be located. “Quota” — you can make your FTP account capacity unlimited or limit it.
When you click “Create FTP Account”, your account will appear in the FTP accounts section below. In this section, you can also configure or delete the FTP account you created.
Connecting to FTP Accounts
You can connect to FTP accounts from your control panel where you received hosting service, or using an application (FileZilla, CuteFTP), which is the most commonly used method. To connect through the application, you first need to download and install the application on your computer. After installation, when you launch the application, a screen like the following will appear. You can write your domain name or the IP address given to you in the Server field. Write your username and password, and you need to write port 21 used in the FTP protocol in the port field. With correct information, you can establish a connection, view your files, and perform operations.
