How to use Web Disk in cPanel

Web Disk lets you manage your hosting account's files over a network connection (WebDAV), so they appear as a folder on your own computer - you can drag and drop to upload, open, and edit files without a separate FTP program.

Open Web Disk

Log in to cPanel and, in the Files section, click Web Disk.

The page has two parts:

• Main Web Disk Account - matches your main cPanel login and can access your whole home directory.
• Create an Additional Web Disk Account - extra logins whose access you can restrict to a specific folder, handy for giving someone access to just part of your account.

Connect to Web Disk

1. Next to the account you want to use, click Configure Client Access.
2. Choose your operating system, then either download the configuration script to set everything up automatically, or use the connection details shown to add a network location manually.

On Windows, if a non-secure connection will not authenticate, click Enable Digest Authentication for the account first - some older versions of Windows require it.

Create an additional Web Disk account

1. In the Create Additional Web Disk Account section, enter a username and a strong password.
2. Set the Directory to the folder this account should be limited to.
3. Click Create. The new account can then connect using the same Configure Client steps above.
