Create FTP Account

In this article, we will discuss about creating FTP accounts from cPanel. First, we will discuss What is FTP and Why we use this?

FTP

File Transfer Protocol is a standard network protocol that worked on TCP/IP protocol. FTP is used for the transfer of computer files between a client and a server on a computer network. FTP is built on a client-server model architecture and it is using separate control and data connections between the client and the server.

 

Why FTP?

Transferring files from one system to another is very simple, but sometimes it can cause problems. For example, different systems may have different file conventions. Different systems may have different ways to represent text and data. Different systems may have different directory structures. FTP protocol establishes two connections between hosts. One connection is for data transfer, and another connection is for the control connection.
