How to connect with FTP to cPanel hosting
Open FTP Accounts in cPanel or use the main cPanel username for full account access. In your FTP client, enter the server hostname, username, password and port 21 for FTP or the secure details provided by your host if using FTPS. For website files, browse to public_html or the document root for the domain. Upload files carefully and avoid overwriting configuration files unless you have a backup. Create separate FTP accounts for developers so you can limit access to specific folders and remove access later without changing your main cPanel password.
