FTP ( File Transfer Protocol ) is a protocol in a network based on TCP / IP (Transmission Control Protocol ) is used for sending and receiving data / files from the FTP server to the FTP client and vice versa. In cPanel, in general all users get 1 main ftp account to connect to the hosting, but the username and password that is used together with the username and password to log into cPanel, making it less safe if the ftp account is to be used also by others.The directory can be accessed even no limitations when using the main ftp account. The solution is to create another ftp account, which has the username and password are different, as well as accessing directory can be limited. Here are the steps.
1. Access to your cpanel via web browser by typing https://yourdomain.com:2082 (change yourdomain.com with your domain, such as in this example https://pamirwebhost.com:2082 . If you experience problems accessing cpanel , please contact our support either via phone / e-mail / ticket / chat.
