FTP Sessions

In cases where you do not want to use your control panel login details to connect via FTP, or you want to give other people access to specific directories, you can create FTP Sessions to provide individualized access.

1. To create an FTP Session, go to FTP Accounts, in the Files box of the control panel.

2. You will see the form to create the FTP session. FTP users will have the format user@domain.

You will see an option to define the directory the user will have access to. For example, to give access only to a subdomain or to public_html.

You can also configure a monthly Quota of bandwidth that the user of this FTP session can consume. At the beginning of each month this limit will reset.

3. Once you have an FTP Session created you will be able to see it in the list under FTP Accounts, and you can modify the session options.
