Managing files using FTP

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is an important part of managing files within a cPanel web hosting service as it provides a means to add, remove, and manage files and folders. We recommend the popular free client FileZilla as it’s easy to use and reliable, however you can also use CuteFTP and Cyberduck.
