How to create an FTP account.

Create an FTP user account on Elements Hosting.

Elements hosting allows you to create FTP user accounts to manage your website's files and folders. With an FTP user account you can upload, download, edit, delete, and view all your website's files and folders on your hosting account.

To add a new FTP user follow the below steps.

Step 1

Log into the Elements Hosting reactor and click on Websites in the sidebar, then click on the website you'd like to add an FTP user to.

Step 2

Click on Advanced >> FTP, or click on the FTP icon as shown in the screenshot. Both options will take you to the same place.

Step 3

Click on the Add account button.

Step 4

Here enter your desired FTP username and password, enter the directory/folder you'd like this FTP user to have access to, then click Add when finished.

Congratulations! Your new FTP user account has been successfully created and is now ready for use. 🎉

Additional Information

To manage an FTP user account and view its login credentials, click on the FTP user you'd like to manage.

From here you can perform the following actions:

• View/copy your FTP Username.

• Reset your FTP user password.

• View/copy your FTP host/server IP address.

• View/copy your FTP port.

• Modify the directory/folder your FTP user has access to.

• Delete your FTP user.

When deleting an FTP user account, be careful with the option: "Delete the contents of the home directory?" Leave this unchecked if you want to keep your files, including your website.

Check the box only if you wish to delete everything (FTP user, website, all files in your home directory/folder).

Although we make backups, you might lose recent changes if you delete everything. Always be cautious when deleting data from your hosting account.
