2.5.2.1.4. Change FTP user settings

Attention!

For security purposes, FTP user passwords are not stored in plain text on the hosting. If you forget the specified password, you will only be able to set a new one. We recommend saving passwords in specialized password managers, such as Bitwarden.
  1. Open the "FTP users" section.
  2. In the FTP user line, click ⚙️:
  3. Set the required settings and click "Save":
    • "Login" — the FTP username. It always begins with a prefix containing the name of the hosting account to which it is linked. The prefix is displayed in green before the input field and is not editable.
    • "Password" — the user's FTP password. It can be entered manually or generated.
    • "More" — click to expand additional settings:
      • "Access directory" — the path to the directory that this FTP user should have access to. The path is specified from the FTP root. Use this setting if you want to grant access only to the directory of a specific site without access to other sites on the hosting account. Note The field supports autocomplete when you press Tab. IDN domains can be entered in both their normal form and in punycode. Symlinks in tooltips are ignored.
      • "Read-Only" — enable if you want the FTP user to only view the contents of the FTP but not make any changes.

The "Read-Only" mode can also be enabled/disabled in the user list:
