FTP (File Transfer Protocol) allows you to transfer multiple or large files easily between your computer and your PassoCloud hosting account.

Step 1: Create a New FTP Account in cPanel

1. Log in to cPanel.

2. Go to Files → FTP Accounts.

3. Under Add FTP Account, fill in:

   • Login: Choose a username (e.g. webmaster).

   • Password: Enter a strong password or click Generate Password.

   • Directory: Leave as public_html if you want this account to have full website access.

   • Quota: Set to Unlimited or a specific MB/GB limit.

4. Click Create FTP Account.

Your FTP account is now ready!

Step 2: Connect to FTP Using FileZilla (or Another Client)

1. Open FileZilla (download it free from filezilla-project.org).

2. In the Quickconnect bar at the top, enter:

   • Host: ftp.yourdomain.com or your server hostname (shown in your welcome email).

   • Username: The full FTP username (e.g. webmaster@yourdomain.com).

   • Password: The one you just set.

   • Port: 21

3. Click Quickconnect.

4. On the right-hand side, navigate to public_html.

5. On the left-hand side, browse to your website files.

6. Drag and drop your files from left (local) to right (remote).

Step 3: Verify Your Upload

Once the upload finishes:

• Open your browser and go to your domain (e.g. https://yourdomain.com).

• If the upload was successful, your website will appear live.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Login Failed? Double-check your username includes the full domain (e.g. user@yourdomain.com).

• Timeouts? Ensure passive mode is enabled in FileZilla (Edit → Settings → FTP → Passive Mode).

• Files Missing Online? Confirm they were uploaded to public_html, not another folder.
