FTP accounts are essential for securely transferring files between your local system and your server, making it easy to manage website files, upload content, and back up data. This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to create an FTP account:
Step 1: Log in to Webuzo
- Access your Webuzo account using your login credentials.
- After successful login, you will be redirected to the Webuzo dashboard.
Step 2: Creating an FTP Account
- Scroll down your Webuzo dashboard to the "FTP" section.
- Look for the "Add FTP Account" option within this section and click on it.
- On the Add FTP Account page, enter the desired username in the "Login" text box.
- Select the desired domain next to the "Login" text box.
- Enter a new password in the "Password" and "Password (Again)" text boxes. You can click on "Key" icon to generate a strong password.
- Set the "Quota" for the FTP account or you can leave it as unlimited. If the account experiences upload issues, consider increasing the quota value.
- Specify the home directory for the FTP account in the "Directory" text box. This sets the top level of directory access for the account. For example, if you enter "example" in the text box, the FTP account will have access to the /home/$user/example/ directory and its subdirectories. By default, the text box is populated with home/yourdomainusername, where "yourdomainusername" represents the username of your Webuzo account. Important: It's worth noting that you cannot use symbolic links (symlinks) to upload data outside of this directory.
- Click on "Create Account". The newly created account will appear in the "Manage FTP" section.
By following these steps, you will successfully create an FTP account.
