Understanding FTP Accounts

Each FTP user has a username, password, and home directory. Limit access to one site folder when possible.

  1. Open File Management → FTP Accounts. Review existing accounts, then click to add a new one.

    Step 2 — Add FTP account form.
  3. Connect with FileZilla or WinSCP using the Manual Settings shown on the FTP page:
    — Host: server hostname or IP (example values appear on your panel)
    — Protocol: prefer SFTP on port 22 when enabled; otherwise FTP on port 21
    — Username / Password: the FTP account you created
    — Default remote path: the home directory you set (often under public_html)

Managing FTP accounts

  1. Change passwords from the account list when credentials may be compromised.
  2. Delete unused FTP users to reduce attack surface.
  3. Do not share the main CWP login for file transfers — create a limited FTP account instead.
Notes

  • Host is usually linux2.server.ind.in or your server IP — always confirm from Manual Settings on your account.
