How to Create an Additional Web Disk Account in cPanel

You can create an additional Web Disk account in cPanel to allow access to a specific directory on your account, while using the cPanel login details for general access.

Steps to Create an Additional Web Disk Account:

• Log in to your cPanel account.

• In the Files section, click on Web Disk.

• Under Create an Additional Web Disk Account, enter the details for the new account:

  • 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.

  • Permissions: Select the desired permissions.

  

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.
