Connecting to a server via FTP with ISPmanager4.

By default, there is no FTP access on the issued VPS. You can create and manage FTP accounts using the ISPmanager panel.

FTP accounts are assigned to users (the root account does not have FTP access). It is not possible to see the "FTP Accounts" section when logged in as an administrator (root). To work with FTP accounts, at least one user must exist.

To set up FTP access, you need to go to the panel with the rights of the user whose FTP accounts you want to set up. To go to the level of the user, select it in the list and click "Login".

After going to the level of the selected user, you will see the control panel as that user sees it. Use the root hyperlink next to the icon of the person in the crown to get the user rights back

Note:
When you create a user, an FTP account with the same name and password is also created, but if you change the user password, the password for the FTP account with the same name remains the same.
