Step#1: Log in to your Pakchamp Dashboard.
Step#2: Select My cPanel from the top navigation bar.
Step#3: Under Files, click the FTP Accounts icon
Step#4: Scroll down to the FTP Accounts section
Step#5: You’ll observe one or more FTP accounts may have been pre-configured for you when your account was created. You can use these accounts to get access your server to create a new FTP account.
Step#6: Once you created, click on Configure FTP Client to display your FTP account details
Log In To Your Server By Using Filezilla
Open Filezilla and select File > Site Manager to enter your FTP account details.
- Hostname/Server Name: This is your domain name with an FTP prefix (for example, mydomain.com).
- Port: The port number used for FTP connections to the server, typically port 21.
- Logon Type: If requested, set this to Normal, not Anonymous.

Upload Files Using Filezilla
Once you logged in to the FTP server, you’ll notice 2 panes on the screen. The left pane displays the files and folders stored on your local computer, while the right pane displays the contents of the remote computer.
- In the left pane, navigate and select those files and folders you want to upload to the server. Most FTP clients allow you to simply drag and drop files from one pane to the other to initiate an upload.
- Alternatively, highlight the files, right-click, and select Upload.
Your files now be queued to be uploaded to the server.
Download Files Using Filezilla
Downloading files from your remote server to your local computer works in a similar way.
