Open a web browser and enter the URL provided by your hosting provider, followed by &#8220;\/login&#8221;. Log in using your username and password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-2-navigating-to-ftp-accounts\"><strong>Step 2: Navigating to FTP Accounts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once logged in, you&#8217;ll be taken to the Plesk dashboard. From here, navigate to the &#8220;Websites &amp; Domains&#8221; tab. In the dropdown menu, select the domain for which you want to manage FTP accounts. Then click on the &#8220;FTP Access&#8221; icon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-3-creating-a-new-ftp-account\"><strong>Step 3: Creating a New FTP Account<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To create a new FTP account, click on the &#8220;Add FTP Account&#8221; button. You will be presented with a form to fill in the details of the new account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>FTP Account Name<\/strong>: Enter a name for the FTP account. This is for your reference and can be anything you like.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Home Directory<\/strong>: Specify the directory that the FTP user will have access to. By default, this is set to the domain&#8217;s root directory, but you can specify a different directory if needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Username<\/strong>: Enter the username for the FTP account. This will be used to log in to the FTP server.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Password<\/strong>: Choose a strong password for the FTP account. You can generate a random password using the built-in password generator for added security.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hard Disk Quota<\/strong>: Optionally, you can set a quota limit for the FTP account&#8217;s disk space usage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Permissions<\/strong>: Specify the permissions for the FTP account. You can choose between read, write, and read\/write access.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve filled in all the details, click on the &#8220;OK&#8221; button to create the FTP account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-4-modifying-an-ftp-account\"><strong>Step 4: Modifying an FTP Account<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to modify an existing FTP account, you can do so by clicking on the account name in the FTP Accounts list. This will bring up a form similar to the one used for creating a new account, where you can make changes to the account details. Once you&#8217;ve made your changes, click on the &#8220;OK&#8221; button to save them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-5-deleting-an-ftp-account\"><strong>Step 5: Deleting an FTP Account<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To delete an FTP account, simply select the account from the FTP Accounts list and click on the &#8220;Remove&#8221; button. You will be prompted to confirm the deletion, so make sure you want to delete the account before proceeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-6-managing-ftp-settings\"><strong>Step 6: Managing FTP Settings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to managing individual FTP accounts, Plesk also allows you to configure global FTP settings for your server. To do this, click on the &#8220;FTP Settings&#8221; tab under the &#8220;Tools &amp; Settings&#8221; section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, you can configure settings such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>FTP Service Status<\/strong>: Enable or disable the FTP service on your server.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Anonymous FTP<\/strong>: Allow or disallow anonymous FTP access to your server.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>FTP Performance<\/strong>: Adjust settings related to FTP performance, such as the number of simultaneous connections allowed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Make any necessary changes to the FTP settings and click on the &#8220;OK&#8221; button to save your changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-7-testing-the-ftp-connection\"><strong>Step 7: Testing the FTP Connection<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve set up your FTP accounts, it&#8217;s a good idea to test the connections to ensure everything is working correctly. You can use an FTP client such as FileZilla to connect to your <a href=\"http:\/\/webhostingkolkata.co.in\">server <\/a>using the credentials of the FTP account you created. If you can connect successfully and transfer files without any issues, then your FTP setup is working correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, managing FTP accounts in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plesk.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Plesk <\/a>is a straightforward process that can be done through the control panel&#8217;s user-friendly interface. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can create, modify, and delete FTP accounts with ease, ensuring secure file transfer capabilities for your server.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Managing FTP accounts in Plesk is essential for securely transferring files to and from your server.
