Now you can access your FTP account by using your newly-created FTP account.

  • Host: Your website IP or enter your domain - ftp.example.com. (Replace example.com with your domain name.)
  • Username: NewFTPUser@example.com.
  • FTP Port: 21 (Default port is 21).
  • FTP Password: Your FTP Password.

You will also see a list of the FTP accounts created under FTP Accounts.
