Creating an FTP account on BigRock web hosting via cPanel is a simple process. Follow these steps:
How To create an FTP Account on BigRock:
- Log into cPanel:
- Open your web browser and go to the cPanel login page (typically:
https://yourdomain.com/cpanelorhttps://yourIPaddress:2083). - Enter your cPanel username and password provided by BigRock.
- Navigate to the FTP Accounts Section:
- Once logged in, scroll down to the Files section on the cPanel dashboard.
- Click on FTP Accounts. This will open the page where you can manage and create new FTP accounts.
- Create a New FTP Account:
- On the FTP Accounts page, you’ll find a form to create a new account.
- Fill out the following fields:
- Login: Choose a username for the FTP account. It will appear as
username@yourdomain.com. For example, if you enter “ftpuser,” the full FTP username will beftpuser@yourdomain.com. - Password: Set a strong password for the account. You can use the Password Generator to create a secure password.
- Password (again): Confirm the password by re-entering it.
- Directory: Set the directory this FTP account will have access to. By default, it will be
/home/username/public_html. You can change it to a specific folder if you want the FTP account to access only that folder. - Quota: Set a disk space limit (optional). You can either set a specific amount of disk space or choose “Unlimited” for no limit.
- Create the FTP Account:
- After filling out the required information, click on the Create FTP Account button.
- The new FTP account will be created, and you’ll see a confirmation message.
- Access Your FTP Account:
- After creation, you will be able to use the FTP account details (username, password, and FTP server) to connect to your website using any FTP client (like FileZilla or Cyberduck).
- The FTP server is usually your domain (e.g.,
ftp.yourdomain.com) or your server’s IP address. - Test Your FTP Connection:
- Open your FTP client (e.g., FileZilla).
- Enter your FTP account details:
- Host:
ftp.yourdomain.com - Username: Your FTP username (e.g.,
ftpuser@yourdomain.com) - Password: The password you set
- Click Connect to test the FTP connection.
Managing FTP Accounts:
You can always go back to the FTP Accounts section in cPanel to:
- Change the password or delete an existing FTP account.
- Modify the quota or directory permissions for the FTP accounts.
By following these steps, you will have successfully created an FTP account on your BigRock hosting cPanel and can now transfer files to and from your website.
