How To Access An FTP Account In cPanel

Note: You must install the FTP client on your computer before you download and run the script file.

Configure FTP Client

To configure an FTP client, perform the following steps:

Click Configure FTP Client for the desired FTP account.

Click FTP Configuration File under the desired FTP client’s logo. You can choose between Filezilla, Core FTP, or Cyberduck.

Note: cPanel currently only supports these three FTP clients for auto-configuration. To use another client, manually configure the client yourself. Click Instructions to view detailed instructions for your chosen client.

Open the configuration script file that downloaded to your computer. The FTP client automatically opens, configures itself, and connects to your FTP server.
