How to connect via FTP in HestiaCP?

Typically, you access an account via FTP using the credentials of its main User, which is created for each hosting account.

If you want to provide restricted FTP access to certain directories or allow FTP access without being able to log in to the Control Panel, then you will need to create an Additional FTP Account.

To create an Additional FTP Account, follow these steps:

1. Log in as the user who has the hosting account you want to give FTP access to. To the right of the account's domain, click on the pencil icon to edit it.

1. On the account editing screen, click on the Advanced Options button.

1. In the advanced options of the account, check the option that says: Additional FTP Account(s).

2. Fill in the connection details for this new FTP account. In the Path field, you should choose the directory that this FTP account will have access to, if you want to restrict access to certain areas.

3. By clicking on Add FTP account, you can add new FTP accounts like the one you are configuring.

1. Once you have finished configuring the new FTP account, go back to the top of this screen and press the Save button in the upper right corner.
