Enable FTP
First, go to the WHM panel to activate FTP on the server. You can do this by visiting the following link: https://Public_IP:2087/. Once there, use the search bar on the left side of the panel to look for FTP and navigate to FTP Server Selection:
Now you can choose which type of server you want. In our case, we will use ProFTPD, although Pure-FTPd can also be used without any issues.
Create FTP Users
At this point, you can now go to your domain and create an FTP user. To do this, go to https://Public_IP:2083/
Once inside the domain user panel, you will see the option for FTP Accounts.
We will add the user for access. In the **Directory** field at the bottom, specify the exact location where you want to restrict the user (by default, it creates a system FTP user with root-level access).
By default, the server creates the server name in the following format: ftp.domain (if you use the hostname of the server, it will not work with ftp.dnshostclouding, although you could access it directly with the server name).
Now you can use FTP in active mode.
If you want to use FTP in a more secure and controlled way, you can activate the passive mode, for this you can go to the following link: Enable passive ports in FTP in cPanel image
