How do I create additional FTP accounts?

1) Log in to your cPanel (http://yourdomain.com/cpanel/)
2) Click the button that says "FTP Accounts"
3) How to fill in the "Add FTP Account" section:

Login : Choose a username for your new FTP account.
(Note - To log in the user must enter the full username, meaning what you type here plus the "@yourdomainname".  For example, if you type in "newuser" in this field, and your main domain name is "mydomain.com", the username will be "newuser@mydomain.com".  Remember to replace "mydomain.com" with your actual domain name.)

Password: Choose a password for your new FTP account.

Password (Again): Retype your new password.

Directory: Choose a directory for this user to have access to.
(Note - Leaving this field blank or entering / here will allow the user to have access to /public_html/ and all subdirectories of /public_html/ for your account.)

Quota: If you wish, set the quota.

4) Click the button that says "Create FTP Account"

You have now created a new FTP account.
