What is Webuzo?
Webuzo is a control panel. A control panel is a web page where you manage your hosting, like the dashboard of a car. Some hosting plans use Webuzo and some use cPanel. Ask Hostvento support if Webuzo is on your plan.
FTP is a way to move files between your computer and your website. An FTP account is a username and password that allows this. You can give each person or tool their own login.
Steps
- Log in to your Webuzo panel. Your welcome email has the address and login details.
- Find the FTP Accounts option. It sits in the menu on the left or on the main screen. You can also use the search box and type "FTP".
- Click the button to add a new account. It is often called Add FTP Account or Create.
- Type a Username. Use short, simple letters, such as
designer1. - Type a Password. Make it long. Mix letters, numbers and symbols. Use the password generator if you see one.
- Choose the Directory. This is the folder the user may open. Leave it as the main web folder for full access. Pick a smaller folder to limit the user.
- Set the Quota if the form shows one. A quota is a size limit for the account.
- Click Create or Submit.
- Check the list. Your new account should now show.
Tip: Menu names can differ a little between Webuzo versions. Use the search box if you cannot find an item.
