Setting up a Web Disk directory

1a. Login to the cPanel for your hosting package, commonly found at http://www.yourdomainname.com/cpanel (yourdomainname.com should be replaced with your actual domain name)

2a. Click on the Web Disk module in cPanel.

3a. The first thing we do is select a username to access this Web Disk. In the Login: field, type the username you'd like to use.

4a. In the drop-down menu next to @, select the domain name that you want assosciated with this Web Disk.

5a. In the Password: field, type the password that you would like assosciated with the username you've created.

6a. In the Password Again: field, retype that same password.

7a. In the Directory: field, type the name of the subfolder (within the site that you selected in step 4) that you would like to be Web Disk accessible. We do not recommend that you make your entire site Web Disk accessible. This creates a security hole that could be exploited.
