The easiest way to give a third-party access to the files in a particular folder is to create an FTP account and to specify website content access limits in regards to your hosting space. In case you use the services of a web designer, for example, they won’t be granted access to any other files or any personal information within your hosting account. You can also use separate FTP accounts to maintain different sites created with a desktop web design app such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage – 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 are able to create and manage your FTP accounts effortlessly.
FTP Manager in Shared Hosting
All our shared hosting packages include a feature-loaded, yet simple-to-work-with FTP Manager, which will enable you to administer all the FTP accounts that you have created effortlessly. The software tool is part of our cutting-edge Hepsia hosting Control Panel and aside from creating and deleting accounts, you can update the password associated with any existing account with only two clicks. You can change the access level for any given FTP account just as easily – you’ll just have to click on the access path associated with the account and then to choose the new folder. What’s more, you can download an auto-configuration file for a number of FTP client applications and set up any of the FTP accounts on your computer simply by installing that file. For simpler and more efficient control, you can arrange the FTP accounts alphabetically on the basis of their usernames or their access paths.
FTP Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you open a semi-dedicated server account with us, you’ll be able to take advantage of a number of features that are available in the FTP Manager section of our cutting-edge Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can set up a new FTP account and select which folder it will have access to with just a couple of clicks through an easy-to-navigate interface. A list of all the accounts that you’ve set up will be available in the exact same section too and, for your convenience, you can arrange them by username or access path in ascending or descending order, so you’ll be able to swiftly locate the account that you want. Changing the path for an existing account is as easy as clicking on it and choosing the new path, while deleting an account or updating its password requires one mouse click as well. With the FTP Manager, you can also use configuration files for widely used desktop FTP client applications like CyberDuck and FileZilla.
