  • Fill up necessary information :

    • Login: Enter your username. (Example: demo)

    • Password: Enter the password.

    • Password (again): Retype the password.

    • Quota: Select FTP quota.



  • It will create the directory like this (/home/yourdomain/public_html/demo) [ Assume that, our domain name is yourdomain.com ]

  • If you leave /demo in the directory box, then the user of this FTP account will only have access to the /demo directory, and all folders under it.
