How to Create an FTP User in cPanel (Step-by-Step Tutorial)

Subscribe for More: https://www.youtube.com/@wtwb?sub_confirmation=1

Need to give a developer access to your website files without sharing your main cPanel login?

In this quick tutorial, I show you step-by-step how to create an FTP user inside cPanel, restrict directory access properly, and generate the correct login details to share securely.

You’ll learn:

• Where to find FTP Accounts in cPanel
• How to create a new FTP user
• How to set the correct directory access, including public_html
• When to restrict access vs full account level access
• How to copy and share the correct FTP configuration details

This works for WordPress, Joomla, or any website hosted inside cPanel.

If you regularly work with developers, agencies, or contractors, creating individual FTP users is far more secure than sharing your main hosting login.

If you want more tutorials on cPanel, WordPress, Joomla, Microsoft 365, Google Admin, or business web tools, let me know in the comments.
