What is FTP?
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a protocol for transferring files between systems connected to a TCP network.
Does my server have the FTP protocol available?
Yes, all servers have the FTP protocol enabled by default.
How can I create an FTP user?
The first thing is to access the Plesk Panel, and go to the left menu.
Click on Domains and a list of the domains on our server will appear.
In this case, as it is a test server, I have a very large list of domains. I am going to access, for example, myweb.com, so I click on the name of the domain myweb.com
Now we see all the options that Plesk has for the domain. At the bottom we see one called FTP Access and we click on this option.
When we access it, we see a list with the FTP users created for this domain. Normally there will always be an FTP user, which is the same user that was indicated when creating the subscription. If we want to create a user, we click on the Add new FTP account button.
The fields that we are asked to fill in are the following:
Name: the username we want to create.
Main directory: here we can indicate which directory the FTP account will access. This is useful, for example, to create an FTP account that only has access to a subfolder and cannot modify other folders. Normally, by putting "/" we give access to all folders (without the quotes).
Password and confirm password: we indicate the password and repeat it to verify it.
Then we click on Accept to create the FTP account.
We will return to the list where we can see the previous accounts and the newly created account.
How can I change the password or path for an FTP user?
Once our user is created, we can see it in the list as soon as we access FTP Access.
We select the user we want to modify (in my case user1) and click on the username.
This way, we can modify the current data of the account (even the FTP name). We modify the fields we want and click on Accept to save the changes.
How can I delete an FTP user?
If we want to delete the user, we select it from the button located to the left of it.
Then we click on the Delete button. The following message appears to verify the action:
If we click on Yes, we will delete the FTP account for this domain.
Once we have our user we can access the server via FileZilla, I leave another guide here.
