-
Log in to your Plesk Control Panel.
-
In the left-hand sidebar, click on "Websites & Domains."
-
Find the domain you want to create an FTP account for, and click on its corresponding "Show More" or ">" button (depending on your Plesk version) to expand the available options.
-
Look for the "FTP Access" or "FTP Accounts" option and click on it. This will open the FTP accounts management page.
-
Click on the "Add FTP Account" or "Create Additional FTP Account" button. A new form will appear where you'll need to enter the details for the new FTP account.
-
Enter a username for the new FTP account in the "FTP Account Name" or "Username" field. Note that Plesk may automatically append your domain name to the username, e.g., "username@example.com."
-
Choose a strong password for the new FTP account and enter it in the "New Password" field. You may also use the "Generate" button to create a strong, random password. Confirm the password by entering it again in the "Confirm Password" field.
-
In the "Home Directory" section, specify the directory the FTP user will have access to. By default, the home directory will be set to the root folder of the domain ("/httpdocs" or "/public_html"). If you want the FTP user to have access to a specific folder within the domain, you can either select it from the folder tree or type the relative path manually.
-
Set the desired permissions for the new FTP account:
- Read: Allows the FTP user to view and download files.
- Write: Allows the FTP user to upload, modify, and delete files.
-
Click on the "OK" or "Create" button to save the changes and create the new FTP account. The new account will now appear in the list of FTP accounts.
That's it! You've successfully created an FTP account in Plesk Control Panel. The FTP user can now use an FTP client (like FileZilla, Cyberduck, or WinSCP) to connect to the server using the FTP account credentials you've just created.
