When we use cPanel to upload and download files from a domain, FTP can be a very practical and simple option, as this panel is pre-configured for its use by default.
In this article, we will show you how to enable and configure it for use.
Configure Passive Mode
To do this, you will need to Access cPanel via SSH and use the following commands:
# echo "PassivePorts: 50000 50100" >> /var/cpanel/conf/proftpd/local
# /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/setupftpserver proftpd --force
In our case, we use ports 50000 - 50100, but any range between 49152-65534 can be used.
Note: You must open ports 50000 and 50100 in the client panel firewall.
Now you will be able to access your server via FTP in passive mode.
