  * **Username**: Enter a username (e.g., `folderx`).
  * **Password**: Enter a new password or click on **Password Generator** to create a random password.
  * **Directory**: You can leave this blank for access to the entire directory or specify a directory path (e.g., `public_html/folderx`) to limit access.

If you are using Windows OS, mark **Enable Digest Authentication**. If the server has a valid SSL certificate and you can make an SSL connection over port 2078, this option is not necessary.

* Click on **Create**. You can now use the new login details to access your Web Disk account.
