The easiest way to provide a third-party with access to the files in a given folder is to set up an FTP account and to set content access restrictions with regard to your hosting space. If you use the services of a web designer, for instance, they will not be able to access any other content or any personal data in your account. You can also set up separate FTP accounts to manage different websites created with a desktop web design app like FrontPage or Dreamweaver – each site can be published and subsequently updated using an FTP account that has access to its very own website folder on the server. All these things will be possible on the condition that you’re able to create and manage your FTP accounts without effort.
FTP Manager in Web Hosting
If you open a web hosting account with us, you’ll obtain access to the amazingly powerful FTP Manager, which is an integral part of our custom-developed Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. The tool includes several different options, aside from the ability to set up or remove FTP accounts. You’ll be able to check the access path associated with each account and by clicking on it, you can change it so that the account will access another folder. Auto-config files can be downloaded as well, so you won’t need to set up anything manually – you can just download the given file for FileZilla, CyberDuck or Core FTP and run it on your PC. To make the administration itself easier, the FTP Manager will allow you to view all the accounts that you have set up in alphabetical order, on the basis of either the username or the access path.
FTP Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you open a semi-dedicated server account with us, you’ll be able to make use of a number of features that are available in the FTP Manager section of our avant-garde Hepsia Control Panel. You can create a brand new FTP account and specify what folder it will access with only a couple of clicks through an easy-to-work-with graphical interface. A list of all the accounts that you have created will be displayed in the same section too and, for convenience’s sake, you can sort them by access path or username in ascending or descending order, so you will be able to swiftly find the FTP account that you want. Modifying the path for an active FTP account is as easy as clicking on it and choosing the new path, whereas removing an account or editing its password requires one click as well. Using the FTP Manager, you can also use configuration files for widely used desktop FTP software apps such as FileZilla and CyberDuck.
