How to create an FTP account

In order to upload and publish your website files on your SWIZZHosting, you need an FTP account. In this tutorial we will show you how to create an FTP account in your SwizzHosting.

  1. Log in at www.swizzonic.ch and click on your SWIZZHosting.
  1. In the cPanel, under the FILES section, click the FTP Accounts icon.
  1. On the next page, enter your username in the Log in field.
  1. In the Password field, enter the desired password. The password must have a security level of at least 65 points. For a strong password you can use the password generator.
  1. In the Directory field, specify the path to the folder you want to access with the FTP user.

    We recommend you to enter the value "/public_html". This will allow you to access the folder of the main domain on which the hosting was configured.

    Otherwise, delete the entire content to be able to access it from the host's home directory.
  1. In the Quota field, you can specify a maximum data volume for uploading files by the respective FTP user.

    We recommend that you leave this entry set to Unlimited by default.
  1. After filling in, click Create FTP account. Your FTP account is now created.

FTP client configuration

To ensure a connection via FTP to the web hosting, the following parameters must be configured in the FTP client of your choice:

  • Host name: ftp.[domain.ext]
  • User name: the one you created
  • Password: your choice
  • Port: 21

The configuration parameters can be found under Configure FTP client. Alternatively, you can specify the shared IP address of your SWIZZhosting in the FTP client.
