How to setup an FTP account.

An FTP site can come in very handy if your business has data files that you want your clients to access easily. Unfortunately we do not allow any illegal movies, mp3 or simillar FTP sites. FTP transfers will be added to your diskspace and bandwidth monthly quota limit. So if you have many or large files we suggest you look at one of our bigger hosting packages.

To set up an FTP account in cPanel log in to your cPanel via our site or via yourdomain.co.za/cpanel. In cPanel look for the Files section. Underneath that click on FTP Accounts. Type in the login(username) that you want for your account and then the password. cPanel will automatically create a folder for you which is the same as the login name, though you can change the folder name. You can even create a quota that will only allow that amount of data on that FTP site. When you’re done, click on Create FTP Account.
To login to your FTP account type ftp.yourdomain.co.za in your browser. Please note the username you use must be the full name for example: example@domain.co.za and then your password. This is only for addon FTP accounts, your main FTP account for your website only needs to be the login(username) you created.
