How to Create an FTP Account in AdminBolt Print

This guide explains how to create an FTP account so you or your developer can access your website files securely.

What is an FTP Account?

An FTP account allows access to your website files using an FTP client such as FileZilla, without sharing your main hosting login details.

Why Create a Separate FTP Account?

• Give access to developers without sharing your main login
• Limit access to specific folders
• Improve security

Step 1: Log into AdminBolt

Log into your AdminBolt Client Panel using your hosting credentials.

Step 2: Navigate to FTP Accounts

1. Go to your hosting or website section
2. Find FTP Accounts or FTP Access

Step 3: Create a New FTP Account

1. Click Create FTP Account
2. Enter a username
3. Enter a secure password
4. Select the directory (optional)
5. Click Create

Step 4: Use Your FTP Account

Once created, you can use these details in your FTP client:

• Host: your domain or server hostname
• Username: your FTP username
• Password: your chosen password
• Port: 21 (or as provided)

Optional: Restrict Access to a Folder

You can limit the FTP account to a specific folder, which is useful when giving access to developers.

Common Issues

FTP Login Not Working

• Check username and password

Important Notes
