Changing FTP/SSH password via Hostinger’s hPanel

Updated over a month ago

Each website you add to your hosting plan will get an FTP account by default. To set up or change the FTP password for a website, go to Websites Dashboard, search for FTP accounts on the sidebar and click on it. Adjust the website selection from the list if needed to ensure you’re updating the FTP password for the correct site. Then, click on Change FTP password:

In the popup window, enter a new, strong password or use the option to generate one automatically:

Re-enter the password to confirm, then click Change password to apply it. Be sure to store your new password in a secure location, as it will not be visible on hPanel.

NOTE

  • If you change the FTP password of the account’s main domain, it will update the SSH password to the same value. The main domain is the first domain you added to your hosting plan; it is also displayed on the Billing → Subscriptions page along with the name of your hosting plan.

How to change the password for additional FTP accounts

If you’ve created an additional FTP account, you can update its password on the same page. Scroll down, locate the specific FTP account, and click Change password next to it:

Enter a new, strong password twice, then click Change password to complete the process.
