How to Create FTP Account in Bluehost
Welcome to Ben’s Experience! If you’re looking to manage your website files effectively, creating an FTP account in Bluehost is a crucial step. This tutorial will guide you through the simple process of setting up an FTP account in Bluehost, ensuring that you can securely access and manage your website files.
Step 1: Access Bluehost Hosting
Start by logging into your Bluehost account. Once you’re inside, navigate to the left-side menu and click on Hosting. This will take you to the main hosting dashboard where you can manage your website.
Step 2: Navigate to cPanel
Scroll down the page to the Quick Links section, then click on the cPanel button. The cPanel is where you’ll find all the tools needed to manage your website, including the option to create an FTP account.
Step 3: Locate the FTP Accounts Section
Within cPanel, scroll down to the Files section and click on FTP Accounts. This section is where you’ll create and manage all FTP accounts associated with your Bluehost account.
Step 4: Create Your FTP Account
Now it’s time to create your FTP account. Start by entering a username, such as “Ben,” in the Username field. Then, select your domain from the dropdown list provided. Next, you’ll need to create a strong password that you can remember easily. This password will be used to access your FTP account.
Step 5: Set the Directory and Quota
In the Directory field, choose the directory you want to access with this FTP account. This could be your website’s root directory or a specific folder within it. For the Quota, it’s recommended to select “Unlimited” to avoid any restrictions on file uploads.
Step 6: Finalize and Configure
Once you’ve filled in all the necessary information, click on the Create FTP Account button. Your new FTP account will be created successfully. To configure your FTP client, click on Configure FTP Client to get your FTP username, server, and port details. If you ever forget your password, you can easily reset it by clicking on Change Password and entering a new one.
