FYI in WHM under FTP configuration somewhere you can set encryption for FTP accounts to DISABLED, OPTIONAL, or REQUIRED. That will allow secure ftp access for only the primary user of each domain. Then when you go to FTP in with the main user of a domain, choose Protocol: SFTP, type in the user name, and you can leave the password empty. It has then been added, I would make sure you hit OKAY and not CANCEL or you it won't save. It will ask you for the password you made when creating the key, after you enter it, it will ask you to convert it to a version of the key without a password, and then will ask you where you want to save it. In Filezilla (for example), you can go to Edit, Settings, SFTP, "add key file", choose the file you just downloaded. So click "View or download" next to the private key and download the file. The user will need to use the Private key that was created (not the public). Now your key has been created and authorized. To do this, you can login to cpanel, click on "SSH Shell Access", Manage SSH Keys, Generate a new key, Create a password then hit "generate key", after it's done hit "go back" button below, under publick keys click "manage authorization", click Authorize, then click the "go back" button below. If you are using the cPanel username, you will use “ public_html” if your program requires a directory to be specified.If I want to make a secure ftp account (SFTP), I have found this can only be done with the primary ftp account for each cpanel login. The main directory for your domain will be public_html. Shared servers will connect to SFTP via port 2222. SFTP will use port 22 for VPS and dedicated servers. This is the port you connect to your server through. Please see our article Resetting your cPanel password using AMP. If you never reset your cPanel password, then the cPanel password should be the same as the AMP password. Your FTP password can also be your cPanel username’s password, unless you never reset your cPanel password. This is the Username found in your AMP Technical Details. otherwise you will get an error when trying to connect using FTP.Ĭonnecting with the cPanel user will use your cPanel username. Note! If your domain is not pointing to our server (See What is a name server? and Updating your domain’s dns / nameservers), you can use the Server host name or the server IP address to connect with FTP. Click Here for more information on your server IP address. You can use the cPanel IP address to connect as well.
