When you start hosting your website, the account is automatically created in the cPanel. This means by default, you already have an FTP account in your cPanel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you want, you can create more than one FTP account, especially if you have other users on your website or domain. That way, you can give each user access to a specific directory without giving them access to your cPanel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This guide will show you how to create an FTP account in your cPanel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to create an FTP account on cPanel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Log in to your <strong>cPanel <\/strong>directly or through your Harmon Web client area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In your <strong>cPanel<\/strong>, scroll down to the <strong>Files <\/strong>section and click on <strong>FTP Accounts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/aity5XHRO4UQTfubjScLLdq89v-p6tMMDubbHzl9fQv0H1RUgDshFGLokUFxnJJoKbKCmRR_Lvs2keflLTNPhEYGX11jRQn2y7fx4qSKPNMqqbFl4-x34yHJn7bRbHThkt24_SUzUbgQQuzx5TEbeBA\" alt=\"How to create an FTP account on cPanel\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You will be taken to the <strong>FTP Accounts <\/strong>page to add and configure your accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/Yid6yHCEe5O-eqKeaAhORY0o1dg0x1DP-TqVeDkZaOm9eJzs-LGZohaM7dLmC1GzvBbEUqUhNlqzHNxQnI7MOvlAnyBB10IYhfxXKWY5Efl3GQt1sqlEFk41MfoamJexaPpR-xZ7J8YaQH3TOFwsd8M\" alt=\"ftp accounts\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Complete the required information in the text fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <strong>Log In<\/strong> field, enter the name of the FTP user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Select the domain name for which you are creating the FTP account from the <strong>Domain <\/strong>dropdown menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter the password you want to use for the FTP account in the <strong>Password<\/strong> field area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <strong>Directory <\/strong>field, you will choose the directory to which the new FTP account has access.
