How to Create an Additional Web Disk Account in cPanel?
You can use cPanel login details to access your Web Disk. You can also create an additional account for accessing a specific directory on your account so that it can be useful for security purposes.
Here's how to create an additional Web Disk Account in cPanel
- Log into your cPanel interface "https://www.domainname.com:2083" or by going through your client area.
- In the Files section, click the Web Disk icon.
- Under Create an Additional Web Disk Account, enter the details of the new account you wish to create.
Username: folderx
Password: Enter your new password or click the Password Generator button to generate a random password.
Directory: You can leave it blank, but it will grant access to the entire directory. If you wish to allow access to only a specific folder, enter the folder location, such as public_html/folderx (the user will be only able to access /folderx).
Permissions: Select your option.
Note: If you are using the Windows OS, you will need to mark Enable Digest Authentication. However, if the server has an SSL certificate signed by a recognized certificate authority and you can make an SSL connection over port 2078, you do not need to enable this.
- Now click on the Create button, and your new additional account will be created. You can use your new login details to access your Web Disk.
