You can remove an FTP account in DirectAdmin in a few steps. Removing unused FTP accounts is a security best practice for your web hosting environment.
Note: You cannot delete the main FTP account, but you can remove additional FTP user accounts you created.
1. Log in to your DirectAdmin Account.
2. In the Account Manager section, click on the FTP Management Icon or type FTP Management in the navigation filter box. The option will appear. Click on it.
3. Under Account, choose the account you wish to remove.
4. Click on the Delete. It will prompt for confirmation. Click on Delete again.
You have successfully removed an FTP user account in DirectAdmin. To temporarily disable access without deleting, learn how to suspend an FTP account instead. If you need to create a new FTP user, see our guide on creating an FTP account in DirectAdmin. For secure file transfers, always use SFTP with an SSL certificate.
