The FTP Manager is the heart of everything to do FTP (File Transfer Protocol). Everything dealing with FTP is all located in this one section of cPanel. FTP accounts, anonymous FTP, FTP messages and session controls can be utilized here. Each one of these sections has a specific function.

FTP Accounts

In this section of the FTP Manager, users can manage, delete and create FTP accounts. Users have the option to delete or change the password for each account. At the bottom of this section are links to each users FTP log files.

Creating an account is very simple. Only a little information a user needs to input before an account can be created.

Login: This will be the user’s username to access the server.

Password: This will their password, the password can be changed as many times as needed at any time.

Directory: This is the directory in which the user’s files will reside on the server and also the directory they will be granted FTP access to. This will also work with sub-domain name accounts. Create a sub-domain name with the same name as the user’s directory and the user can use the sub-domain name to access their site.

Setup Anonymous FTP Access

In this section users have the ability to setup anonymous ftp access to view files on the anonymous FTP server. They also have the option to allow users to upload files to the anonymous FTP server. Users will not have the ability to delete, rename, or edit any files, only upload.

Anonymous FTP Message

The Anonymous FTP Message section is for users to setup the message that is displayed within the users FTP manager when they login to the server. Simply type the message that should be displayed in the box available and hit save message, it’s that simple.

FTP Session Control

The next section is a very cool feature in cPanel. It allows a user to view the current FTP accounts that are logged in and disconnect them if needed or wanted. There isn’t much to this section; it’s more for monitoring user’s access and disconnecting them if it is needed. It will display the type of FTP server that the server uses, the user that is logged in, and their IP address. The user’s login time is also displayed here.
