How to Access Web Disk (WebDAV) in cPanel

Web Disk (WebDAV) allows you to access and manage your hosting files directly from your computer as if it were a local network drive — no FTP client required. You can drag, drop, edit, and delete files just like a regular folder on your desktop.

Steps to Create a Web Disk Account

1. Login to cPanel.
2. Under the Files section, click Web Disk.
3. Click Create Additional Web Disk Accounts.
4. Fill in:
   • Username: Enter a username for this Web Disk account.
   • Domain: Select your domain.
   • Password: Set a strong password.
   • Directory: Set the folder this account can access (default: public_html).
   • Permissions: Choose Read-Write or Read-Only.
5. Click Create.

Connecting Web Disk on Windows

1. Open File Explorer.
2. Click This PC → Map network drive or Add a network location.
3. Enter the WebDAV URL: https://yourdomain.com:2078
4. Enter your Web Disk username and password when prompted.
5. The folder will appear as a network drive.

Connecting Web Disk on Mac

1. Open Finder → Go → Connect to Server.
2. Enter: https://yourdomain.com:2078
3. Click Connect and enter your credentials.

Note: Web Disk uses port 2078 (SSL) or 2077 (non-SSL). SKPHost recommends always using port 2078 for a secure encrypted connection.
