FTP accounts let you upload and manage website files using an FTP client such as FileZilla or WinSCP.
Create an FTP account
- Go to Files → FTP Accounts.
- Enter a login name and select the domain.
- Choose a strong password or use the password generator.
- Set the directory the account can access — use
public_htmlor a subfolder for limited access. - Set a quota if needed and click Create FTP Account.
Connect with an FTP client
- Host: your domain name or server IP (or
ftp.yourdomain.com) - Port: 21 for FTP, or 22 for SFTP if enabled on your DanumHost plan
- Username: the full FTP username shown in cPanel
- Password: the password you set
For better security, prefer SFTP or use the built-in File Manager when possible. Delete unused FTP accounts to reduce attack surface.
