Configuring FTP accounts in Webuzo Control Panel

Webuzo, a popular hosting control panel, makes it simple for website admins to handle many parts of their web service. 


One of the most important features of Webuzo is its ability to create FTP accounts. File transfer protocol, or FTP, is widely used for sending data from one computer to another via the internet.

What is an FTP Account?

FTP accounts allow website administrators to upload and download files to and from their web hosting account. It is simpler to administer and safeguard a web hosting account when different FTP accounts are created, allowing website managers to provide access to particular directories and files.


FTP user accounts have direct access to the website's files. In the folders they have access to, users can upload, download, delete, and alter the permissions on the majority of files.


The majority of FTP applications, including FileZilla, WinSCP, Transmit, and Cyberduck, are desktop applications. These can be installed by the user on the computer and used to access the website directly.

How to configure FTP accounts in the Webuzo control panel

To configure FTP accounts, one must first log in to their Webuzo Control Panel account. Once logged in, you will be directed to the dashboard, which contains various tools and settings to manage your web hosting account.

Step 2: Access the FTP Manager

To create a new FTP account, one must access the FTP Manager tool in Webuzo Control Panel. To do this, click on the "FTP Manager" icon on the dashboard. This will open the FTP Manager page, which contains all the FTP accounts currently configured on the web hosting account.
