The simplest way to provide a third-party with access to the files in a given folder is to create an FTP account and to put content access restrictions in regard to your web hosting space. If you use the services of a web designer, for example, they will not gain access to any other files or any personal details within your account. You can also use multiple FTP accounts to run different websites created with a desktop web design application such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver – each site can be published online and subsequently modified using an FTP account with access to its very own domain folder on the server. All these things will be possible provided that you’re able to set up and manage your FTP accounts with ease.
FTP Manager in Shared Web Hosting
All our shared web hosting packages include a function-rich, albeit simple-to-work-with FTP Manager, which will enable you to administer all the FTP accounts that you have set up effortlessly. The FTP Manager is a part of our next-generation Hepsia hosting Control Panel and besides creating and deleting accounts, you will be able to modify the password for any active account with only 2 mouse clicks. You can change the level of access for any specific FTP account just as easily – you just have to click on the access path for the account and then to pick the new directory. In addition, you can download an auto-config file for various FTP programs and set up any of the FTP accounts on your PC simply by installing that file. For easier and more efficient management, you can arrange the accounts alphabetically based on their access paths or their usernames.
