# How to Create and Manage FTP Accounts

Separate FTP accounts allow developers to access only the files they need.

## Create an Account

1. Log in to DirectAdmin.
2. Open FTP Management.
3. Select Create FTP Account.
4. Enter a username and strong password.
5. Choose the correct access directory.
6. Save the account.

## Access Scope

Use domain or directory-level access instead of full account access whenever possible.

## Remove Old Access

Delete accounts created for former employees, contractors or completed projects.

## Need Help?

If you still need assistance, open a support ticket through your Vertico client account and include the affected domain or email address, a screenshot of the error, and the approximate time the problem occurred. Never send passwords by email or support ticket.
