Log In: FTP username like "new-user" (without spaces).
Password: Enter a new FTP password or generate a new password by clicking the Password Generator button.
Directory: If you want to give access to the entire /public_html folder, enter public_html or change the folder path to a different path, such as public_html/new-user, and your FTP user will be granted access to the "new-user" folder only. Your FTP user will also be unable to access folders outside the "public_html/new-user" folder.
Quota: Specify the quota or select Unlimited.

Once completed, click the Create FTP Account button.
