You can create an FTP account in cPanel to transfer files easily. Let’s start by logging into the cPanel using the admin link such as (e.g., https://example.com:2083). After logging in, you’ll be directed to the cPanel dashboard where you can access various tools. To create a new FTP account, type “ftp” into the search bar and select “FTP Accounts” from the dropdown menu. In the “Add FTP Account” section, enter the required details such as login name, password, and confirmation, then click “Create FTP Account” to finalize the setup. For a detailed, step-by-step guide, please continue reading the article below.

Click on “Use Password” to apply the newly generated password to your FTP account. This action finalizes the password change or setup process.
Clicking “Use Password” will automatically fill in the password in both the “Password” and “Password (Again)” fields. This simplifies the process of updating or setting the password.
