Add FTP Account
To create an FTP account, perform the following steps:
- Enter the desired username in the Log In text box.
- Select the desired domain from the Domain menu.
- Enter and confirm the new password in the appropriate text boxes.
Notes:
The system evaluates the password that you enter on a scale of 100 points. 0 indicates a weak password, while 100 indicates a very secure password.
Some web hosts require a minimum password strength. A green password Strength meter indicates that the password is equal to or greater than the required password strength.
Click Password Generator to generate a strong password. For more information, read our Password & Security documentation. - Enter the FTP account's home directory.
Notes:
The Directory text box defines the new FTP account's top level of directory access. For example, if you enter example in the Directorytext box, the FTP account can access the /home/$user/example/directory and all of its subdirectories.
The system automatically populates this text box with public_html/domain.tld/account, where account represents the username that you entered in the Login text box and domain.tldrepresents the domain you selected in the Domain menu.
Important:
You cannot use symbolic links (symlinks) to upload data outside of this directory. - Enter the disk space quota, or select Unlimited.
Note:
If your server uses the ProFTPd FTP server, you cannot use quotas. For more information, contact your hosting provider.
Important:
If an FTP account experiences problems with uploads, you may need to increase the Quota value. - Click Create FTP Account. The new account will appear in the FTP Accounts table.
