You can upload files to your hosting package through the File Manager (LINK HERE FOR FAQ) or through FTP (usually used for big files).
Once you log in to your Plesk account, click in FTP (main page).
You can see all the FTP users created and edit them by clicking on the username: (you will have one as default, but you can also add different ones if more people are accessing the hosting).
You need the IP, the username and the password, and also activate SSH access if you want.
To create an additional FTP account, click on add FTP account and specify the following:
- FTP account name. Type a desired name.
- Home directory. Select the directory to which the user will be taken when he or she connects to the FTP account.
- FTP password.
- Hard disk quota (on Windows hosting). To limit the amount of disk space on the server that the FTP user can occupy, clear the Unlimited checkbox next to the Hard disk quota box, and type the amount of disk space in megabytes.
- Read permission (on Windows hosting). To allow the FTP user to view the contents of the home directory and download files from it, select the Read permission checkbox.
- Write permission (on Windows hosting). To allow the FTP user to create, view, rename and delete directories in the home directory, select the Write permission checkbox.
On Window hosting, if you do not grant any permissions, a connection to the FTP account will be made, but the contents of the home directory will not be shown to the user.
To login via FTP you will need:
- The IP displayed on your FTP user
- Your username
- Your password
- And the port will be 21
And you are all set! You can start importing files and exporting files from your hosting package through FTP.
