cPanel FTP Connections Interface

FTP Connections

The FTP Connections interface in your cPanel control panel lets you view information about current connections to your FTP server and allows you to terminate these connections if you need to.

Accessing the FTP Connections interface

Login to your cPanel control panel using your web browser. Go to 'http://www.yourdomain.com/cpanel/' (without the quotation marks). So if your domain name is 'example.com' you should go to 'http://www.example.com/cpanel/' to login to your control panel. The FTP Connections interface is in the "Files" tab, simply click on the name or the icon to enter.
