FTP-GoDaddy cPanel
We always request the FTP login when taking over website management for new clients because it is required to keep a website up to date. We can access the server that hosts the website’s files using the FTP login. Many customers are unable to locate their FTP login.
Today, we will see a simple method to discover the FTP login for GoDaddy cPanel.
How To Locate FTP Login Details On GoDaddy cPanel?
An FTP login contains the information on the server/host address, the username, and the password. Also, an FTP account and cPanel share the same username and password.
Our Support team recommends the following steps to find the login details of FTP on GoDaddy cPanel.
- Firstly, sign in on the GoDaddy website.
- Then go to the My Products page.
- Now locate Web Hosting. Under Web Hosting, click “Manage” next to the hosting plan for which we need the FTP credentials.
- A Dashboard screen appears. For the server address, take a look at the “Settings” box on the right. The server address will be the “Primary Domain.” Similarly, we can find the Username from the “Settings” box. The FTP username will be the “cPanel Login.”
- Finally, we have to change the Password. Under the “Settings” box on the right-hand side, find the password and click the Change button. Provide the password and reconfirm it. The new password will be the password for the cPanel and FTP accounts. Once we find the FTP login on GoDaddy cPanel, we can close the box.
