After the account has been successfully added highlight the new user name (this example is batman). Verify the Enabled box & Password are checked.
Enter the password you want to assign to user.
Enter the group you want to assign to user.<br>

'''NOTE: Ensure there is no check in "Force SSL for user login" box. SSL login is more secure but you need to ensure the FTP client supports SSL login before checking the box.'''
