Quick Reference
Here are the connection details you'll need for any FTP client:
- Host:
ftp.yourdomain.com - Port:
21(FTP/FTPS) or990(implicit FTPS) - Username: Your full FTP username (e.g.,
user@yourdomain.com) - Password: The password you set when creating the FTP account
Tip
Your main cPanel username and password also work as FTP credentials, with full access to your home directory. For better security, create dedicated FTP accounts with restricted directory access.
