How to Create Secure FTP Uplinks

BoostonCP allows you to establish isolated FTP accounts for high-speed file transmission. Follow this manual to create an account restricted to a specific website directory.

Step 1: Access the FTP Portal

Navigate to FTP Accounts in the Admin Panel sidebar.

Step 2: Configure Account Parameters

  1. FTP Username: Enter a unique designation (e.g., dev_user).
  2. Target Website: Select the domain from the dropdown. This is critical as it defines the Home Directory. The user will be "rooted" here and cannot access other parts of the server.
  3. Access Key: Set a strong password. Use the "Sync/Generate" button for a neural-grade random key.

Step 3: Authorizing the Access

Click "Create Access". The Booston-Core engine will automatically:

  • Create the system user with a "No-Login" shell for security.
  • Establish the home directory permissions.
  • Register the credentials in the local database for UI management.
SECURITY NOTE: By selecting a "Target Website," you are enabling Directory Chroot. This prevents the FTP user from seeing your system configuration files or other users' data.
