Web Disk allows you to access your hosting files as a network drive on your computer.
It lets you manage files as if they were stored locally, without using an FTP client or the File Manager.

Web Disk uses a secure connection and is available for Web Hosting and Site Hosting accounts.

What Web Disk Is Used For #

Web Disk can be used to:

• Upload and download website files
• Manage folders from your operating system
• Access files without opening cPanel each time

For most users, Web Disk is optional.
FTP or the File Manager is usually easier and more reliable.

How Web Disk Works #

Web Disk connects to your hosting account using:

• Your cPanel username
• Your cPanel password
• A secure protocol (WebDAV over HTTPS)

Once connected, your hosting directory appears as a network drive.

Where to Find Web Disk in cPanel #

1. Log in to cPanel
2. Go to the Files section
3. Click Web Disk

Here you will see connection details and setup instructions.

Supported Operating Systems #

Web Disk can be configured on:

• Windows
• macOS
• Linux

Each operating system has its own setup method, which is shown inside cPanel.

Directory Access #

By default, Web Disk provides access to:

• Your home directory
• Website files such as public_html

You can limit access by creating a dedicated Web Disk user with restricted permissions.

When to Use Web Disk #

Web Disk may be useful if:

• You prefer managing files via your file explorer
• You make occasional file changes
• You want quick access without FTP software

When Not to Use Web Disk #

Web Disk is not recommended if:

• You upload large numbers of files
• You need high performance transfers
• You experience unstable network connections

In these cases, FTP is more reliable.

Security and Responsibility #

You are responsible for:

• Securing your login credentials
• Disconnecting unused network drives
• Not sharing access with unauthorized users

Web Disk access provides direct file access to your hosting account.

Common Issues #

• Connection fails due to incorrect credentials
• Operating system does not support WebDAV
• Network blocks WebDAV traffic
• Slow transfer speeds

These are usually client-side issues.
