FTP account information

You can access your FTP account:

1. Using cPanel account login details (default FTP account)
2. Create additional FTP account via cPanel (add-on FTP account)

For more information how to create an add-on FTP account please see cPanel tutorial - how to create an FTP account

When you use cPanel username and password you get access to all directories of your account. If you want to connect or grant someone access to a particular directory only you need to use an add-on FTP account, which can be created manually or is created automatically when you add a subdomain or addon domain to cPanel

Basic FTP settings

Host: Use your domain (without http://www.) or server IP address
Username: cPanel username (for default FTP account); username@domain.com (for add-on FTP accounts)

To check add-on FTP account name go to:

cPanel > Files > FTP accounts

Password: cPanel password (for default FTP account); add-on FTP account password
It can be reset if needed:

cPanel > Files > FTP Accounts > Change password

Port: standard FTP port we use is 21. If you are connecting via SFTP please use 65321
