FTP allows you to upload or publish your website files. First, you need to set up an FTP user:
- Log into your Control Panel.
- In the Files section, click on FTP Accounts.
- Fill in the information for your new FTP user:
- Login: Your new FTP username.
- Password: Enter your new password twice. Be sure to choose something strong for added security. You can
use the Password Generator tool to create a secure password automatically; just make sure
you remember the password. - Directory: This is the folder that you want the user to be able to access. For maximum access, leave this
field blank. To grant access to all of your website files, use public_html/. To grant access to a specific
subfolder, enter the full path to that folder (example: public_html/username/). - Quota: This is the maximum amount of disk space this user will be allowed to use on the server. Enter a
number, or choose Unlimited.
- Click Create FTP Account. You'll be taken to a confirmation screen that shows the information you just
entered. Make a note of these settings for the next step.
