Steps

1 To access the FTP Manager, click on the FTP icon above the words FTP Manager on the main screen of your cPanel interface.

2 Click on FTP Session Control. You will see all the users logged in through FTP on this page. Their username as well as the server they are logging in from, and the time they logged in at will be shown.

3 To end a user's FTP session, click on disconnect next to the user you wish to end the session for.
