- Setting up CyberDuck to connect to your account
From CyberDuck's toolbar, click on the Open Connection button to enter the new connection details.If you want to connect using FTPS (FTP via explicit SSL/TLS) then go to Step 2.
FTPS allows you to connect using the cPanel username and also using the additional FTP usernames you can setup in cPanel's FTP Accounts. This type of login is ideal for developers, or additional FTP users. Access can be limited to specific directory tree e.g. if you want to give a developer access only to a dev or staging subdomain directory tree.
If you want to connect using SFTP (Secure-FTP achieved via the SSH system) then go to Step 3.
SFTP will only allow you to connect using the cPanel username and password, and will give the access to the entire cPanel account - this is ideal for the account owner. - Connection settings using FTPS, also known as FTP-SSL (Explicit AUTH TLS)Connection Type drop-down: FTP-SSL (Explicit AUTH TLS)
