How to add a new FTP account in Plesk

Overview

The following support article demonstrates how to create a new FTP account in a subscription within Plesk.

Instructions

1. Log into Plesk either via the Conetix Control Panel, or via your VPS login page.
2. If you access Plesk from a VPS, click on “Domains” and then the domain for which you want to create a new FTP account. For this example we are using conetixtest.com.
   If you access Plesk via your Conetix Control Panel, simply proceed to the next step instead.
   
3. From the “Websites & Domains” tab, click on the “Dashboard” sub-tab of the domain you wish to create the FTP Account under, and then choose “FTP Access“.

   

4. Click on “Add an FTP account“.

   

5. Enter an FTP account name (the username), and enter a password in the “Password” and “Confirm Password” fields and click “OK“.
   If you only want an FTP user to be able to access a certain directory, you can specify this in the “Home Directory” field.
   Leaving the Home Directory with a “/” value will mean the user will have access all sites hosted under that subscription/hosting plan.

   

6. The new FTP account is now present in the list of FTP account.

   

7. You can now access your web hosting file structure via an FTP client such as FileZilla, using the newly created FTP account.
