How do I add multiple FTP accounts for one website?

Asked on Sep 25, 2025

Answer

To add multiple FTP accounts for one website, you typically use your hosting control panel, such as cPanel, to create separate FTP accounts with unique usernames and passwords. Each account can be restricted to specific directories for security.

Example Concept: In cPanel, navigate to the "FTP Accounts" section. Here, you can create new FTP accounts by specifying a username, password, and the directory to which the account should have access. This allows you to manage permissions and access levels for different users effectively.

Additional Comment:
  • Each FTP account should have a unique username and password.
  • You can restrict each account to specific directories to enhance security.
  • Ensure that passwords are strong to prevent unauthorized access.
  • Check your hosting provider's documentation for specific steps, as the interface may vary.
