The easiest way to provide a third-party with access to the web files in a certain folder is to create an FTP account and to set website content access limits in regard to your web hosting space. In case you use the services of a web developer, for instance, they will not acquire access to any other content or any sensitive information within your hosting account. You can also set up separate FTP accounts to manage different Internet sites created with a desktop web design application like FrontPage or Dreamweaver – each site can be published online and subsequently modified using an FTP account that has access to its own domain name folder on the server. All these things will be possible on the condition that you’re able to set up and manage your FTP accounts with ease.
FTP Manager in Shared Web Hosting
When you you open a shared web hosting account with us, you’ll gain access to the incredibly powerful FTP Manager tool, that is an essential part of our in-house developed Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. The tool comes with several different options, besides the ability to set up or delete 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 in question will access a different directory. Downloadable auto-configuration files are available as well, so you will not need to configure anything manually – you can simply download the respective file for Core FTP, FileZilla or CyberDuck and install it on your PC. To make the management itself easier, the FTP Manager will allow you to view all the accounts that you’ve created in alphabetical order, on the basis of either the access path or the username.
