FTP (File Transfer Protocol) allows you to upload files from your computer to your hosting server quickly and securely. You can create FTP accounts directly from Cpanel and connect using clients like FileZilla or WinSCP.

1. Log in to Cpanel

Go to https://yourdomain.com:2083 and log in with your credentials. Then find and open the “FTP Accounts” section.

2. Create a New FTP Account

Click on “Add FTP Account” and enter the required information:

• Login: Your FTP username
• Password: A strong and secure password
• Directory: The folder you want to grant access to (e.g., public_html)

After filling out the form, click Create to save your account.

3. Connect via FTP Client

Use FileZilla or WinSCP and enter the following connection details:

• Host: yourdomain.com
• Username: your FTP username
• Password: your FTP password
• Port: 21

Click “Connect” to access your server. Once connected, you’ll see the public_html directory of your website.

4. Security Tip

Always use FTPS or SFTP instead of standard FTP to keep your file transfers encrypted and secure.

Note: If you experience connection errors, ensure that port 21 is open on your server and not blocked by a firewall.
