How do I manage my ftp accounts?

Select FTP Manager from the cPanel main page. Then select FTP:// Accounts. From here, you can add or delete accounts, change passwords, or view account files.

When you create a new account, cPanel will automatically create a directory in public_html with this username and grant the user access to this directory. Be careful if you change this; the user will have access to the directory you assign, as well as any directories under it. So if you assign the user to public_html/ (instead of public_html/username) they will have access to any files inside this directory.

There are some ftp accounts that are created automatically by cPanel. These cannot be deleted.
