How Do I Create an FTP Account in Plesk?

FTP lets you upload files from your computer to your website. Your main FTP account is created when your hosting is set up; you can open a separate FTP account for someone else, such as your web designer.

Step by step

1. Log in to your Plesk panel at https://yourdomain.com:8443 or from the service page in your client area.
2. On the Websites & Domains page, click FTP Access.
3. Click Add FTP Account.
4. Enter a username and password. With Home directory you can limit the user to one folder.
5. Click OK.

Connecting with an FTP program

You can use free programs such as FileZilla, WinSCP or Cyberduck. Website files are in the httpdocs folder.
