How to set up an FTP account for your web hosting service

Here is how to set up an FTP account for your web hosting service at dotCanada.com:

1. Log into your dotCanada.com account area

2. Go to the "FTP Accounts" section

3. Click "Add New FTP Account"

4. Enter a username for the new FTP account

5. Choose whether to assign the account to a specific domain/website or the main user account

6. Set the directory path where you want the FTP user to have access

7. Set a strong password for the FTP account

8. Review the settings and click "Create FTP Account"

Once created, you can use the FTP account credentials to upload, download, and manage files on your web hosting space via an FTP client like FileZilla. Here are some tips:
• Use a unique, strong password that combines letters, numbers, and symbols
• Limit the directory permissions to only what is needed for security
• Consider setting IP restrictions if you only plan to access FTP from certain locations
• For WordPress sites, create a separate FTP account just for that installation

dotCanada.com provides full FTP access so you can easily manage your website files and content.
