How to Delete an FTP User account from cPanel? Print this Article
Overview:
You can use this interface to create and manage your website’s File Transfer Protocol (FTP) accounts. FTP allows you to manage your website’s files.
-
You can only access this interface if your hosting provider has enabled FTP services on your server.
-
To determine which FTP server daemon that your server uses, contact your hosting provider. cPanel & WHM supports the ProFTPD and Pure-FTPd FTP server daemons.
- On servers that use Pure-FTPd, the system will only return the first 2,000 files in each folder. Your hosting provider can adjust this number.
-
If the account uses a dedicated IP address, you can use your cPanel account’s username and password to log in to FTP. Otherwise, you must use the full FTP account username (account, at-symbol, and domain name) and password to log in to FTP.
-
You can use your cPanel account’s username and password to log in to FTP.
-
SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) allows you to transfer files over a secure connection. For more information about SFTP, read our How To Configure Your SFTP Client documentation.

To view past FTP connections to your site, navigate to the Raw Access interface (cPanel >> Home >> Metrics >> Raw Access).
