You can modify the amount of disk space allocated to any of the available
FTP accounts. Follow the instructions below.

NOTE: Your overall
FTP disk quota is limited by the total disk space available for your hosting
account. For example: If you have 5000 MB of disk space in your hosting
account and set a FTP account's disk quota to 9999 MB, the quota will still
be 5000 MB.
