Configure an FTP Client

When an FTP client is configured using cPanel, a script will be downloaded to your computer. When this script is run, the FTP client will automatically be opened, configured, and connected to your FTP server. To configure an FTP account, use the appropriate link under the Account Management heading.

PICK Remember: The FTP client needs to be installed on your computer before you download and run the script file.

To configure an FTP client:

  1. Select the appropriate FTP client. The options include, FileZilla, Core FTP™, and Cyberduck. cPanel only supports these 3 FTP clients for auto-configuration. Other clients can be used; however, you must configure the client yourself.
  2. Click the appropriate FTP or SFTP configuration link.
    • We recommended that you use SFTP for a secure file transfer.
    • SFTP stands for Secure File Transfer Protocol and uses SSL encryption for all of its operations.
  3. Open and run the configuration script file that has been downloaded to your computer.
The FTP client should automatically open, configure itself, and connect to your FTP server. There, you will be free to manage your website’s content. If you encounter problems when trying to automatically configure your FTP client, make sure your client is properly installed on your computer. If problems persist, consult your FTP client’s documentation.

note Note: If you experience problems logging into your FTP account, consult the Manual Settings shown on the FTP Accounts screen to ensure that you are using the correct data to log in.

PICK Remember: If the FTP client you wish to use is not listed, it cannot be automatically configured. In this scenario, you must configure your FTP client yourself. Consult your FTP client’s documentation for more information.
