Detailed Cpanel Tutorial Part 2.2: FTP Management

Posted Image


For this tutorial, you will need to locate the Icon under Site Management Tools labeled FTP Manager Posted Image and also inside of the FTP:// Accounts area


Adding A New FTP Account
1) Locate the link that says '[ Add FTP Account ]' Near the bottom of the page, click it

2) Enter the Login Name, this will be the name that the user uses to log-in to the File Manager, or through the FTP Client

3) Enter the password, this will be the password used for accessing the File manager, or through the FTP Client

4) Enter a quota if you want the user to have one, this ca be used to ensure that they will not upload a large file taking up all of your webspace

5) Type in the directory that you want the user to have access too, if you want them to have access only to the forums then type in the directory used for the forums (IE: /forums) But if you want the user to have access to all of the files that are on your site, then simply type in '/' without the apostrophes and that will grant them access to all of your files in the public_html/www folder

6) Hit Create and you're done!


Deleting An Old FTP Account
1) Locate the icon to the right of the account you want to delete that says Delete Posted Image

2) Click it, It will ask you if you really want to delete the account, click yes if you really do, or no if you don't really want to

-Note- You are not able to delete the default accounts, they are identified with the Posted Image logo next to it

Ftp Account Management

 

Hi

I am hoping you wont mind helping me out, I have 5 pages ready to go into a file for uploading.

This site I built through trellian.Com. And their support has been rubbish.

 

My domain is ready which I paid for through fasthosts and their DNS is pointing to 1&1.Com who I have paid for webspace.

 

Finally I can access my webspace but I am not sure how to upload my pages to a file for uploading,

 

Also I am not sure the links are working, I did follow thier guidelines.

 

Would you mind telling me how to sort this

 

Xxx thankyou

> You have to use ONLINE FILE MANAGER

> OR FTP Software to upload Files.

> You should upload files in "www" folder

> on the hosting server.
