Introduction:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating FTP users in WHM (Web Host Manager) is a crucial task for managing file transfers and maintaining security within your hosting environment. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) users allow authorized individuals to upload, download, and manage files on your server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
