I configured backups of my system to /backups and now I want to create an FTP account to download the files. How can I do that? Seems cpanel does not allow to create an user outside home. Thanks!

  How you configure your site backup to /backup directory ? And it's not possible to create the FTP account through cPanel to access the outside the user home directory.

  I configured the backup by using the "Legacy Backup Configuration" on WHM options. I just want to download the files by FTP, how I"m supposed to do that, using standard configurations? Thanks

  Hello :) Your posts indicate that you have "root" access to the system. If that is the case, you could utilize SFTP to access the /backup directory and download the archives to your home computer. You can use a FTP client such as FileZilla for SFTP activity if you use a Windows OS. Thank you.
