Adding FTP accounts Print

  • 26



The best way to update your website content is to upload it through FTP. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a standard network protocol that allows transferring files between two hosts (your computer and Plesk server). Plesk panel acts as an FTP server, while users should use some FTP client to access the directories on the server.

 

To create an additional FTP account:


1. Log into your control panel.

2. Click on the 'Websites & Domains'.

3. Click on the 'FTP access'.

4. Click on the 'Add an FTP Account'.

5. Fill all the details.

          FTP account name. Type a desired name.
           Home directory. Select the directory to which the user will be taken when he or she connects to the FTP account.
           FTP password.
           Hard disk quota - Unlimited
           Read permission . To allow the FTP user to view the contents of the home directory and download files from it, select the Read permission checkbox.         
           Write permission. To allow the FTP user to create, view, rename and delete directories in the home directory, select the Write permission checkbox                        

if you do not grant any permissions, a connection to the FTP account will be made, but the contents of the home directory will not be shown to the user.

6. Click OK.



To change the properties of an additional FTP account:

 

1. Go to Websites & Domains and click FTP Access.

2. Click the required FTP account name in the list.

3. Make the required changes and click OK.
