Hi, FTP and Control Panel both are different thing. File Transfer Protocol is a protocol for transferring files over the web. FTP is mostly used for downloading files and uploading sites to a web server.

And cPanel (control Panel) is a graphical web-based web-hosting control panel, designed to simplify administration of websites. cPanel handles aspects of website administration in its interface. The software is distributed by cPanel Inc. and is proprietary, it is designed for use by commercial web hosting services and requires monthly license fees.

Hope this will help you to understand the thing.


All the best!
