Adding an FTP account in the ISPConfig control panel.
This tutorial explains the necessary steps for adding a new FTP account in the ISPConfig administration panel, which will allow file uploads to the server.
Introduction
- The ISPConfig control panel allows the addition of an unlimited number of FTP accounts associated with the domains added to hosting in the Websites menu;
- With the help of these accounts, you will be able to upload files, archives, and everything necessary for the site;
Requirements
- The administration details of the ISPConfig panel received in the email inbox associated with the Hostico account when the VPS was activated.
Steps to follow
- First, we will connect to the ISPConfig control panel using one of the access addresses: https://SERVERNAME:10200 or https://SERVER_IP:10200 or https://DOMAIN.XX:10200;
- After logging in to the panel, we will click on the Sites button in the navigation bar, and then we will click on FTP-Accounts in the Web Access category
On the next page, click on the "Add new FTP-User" button
- In the page that will open, we will fill in the details as follows:
- Website: The domain to which the FTP account will be associated;
- Username: A username. It will be automatically prefixed by "administrator". From the example in the image below, the resulting FTP user will be "administratorhostico";
- Password and Repeat Password: We will fill in the password for the FTP account, either manually or by using the button on the right "Generate Password";
- Hardisk-Quota: The disk space allocated to the FTP account. It is recommended to set the value to "-1" to allocate unlimited space;
- Active: We leave it checked to activate the FTP account.
Next, we will click the "Save" button in the bottom right corner.
From this point, the FTP account will be created and will be accessible through an FTP client such as FileZilla. In the following link, you can find a tutorial that will demonstrate the use of the FTP client FileZilla Accessing files with FileZilla.
