The simplest way to give a third-party access to the web files in a particular folder is to create an FTP account and to put content access limits with regard to your hosting space. In case you use the services of a web developer, for instance, they will not receive access to any other files or any personal information within your web hosting account. You can also set up multiple FTP accounts to maintain a number of websites built with a desktop web design app like Dreamweaver or FrontPage – each site can be uploaded and later updated using an FTP account with access to its own website folder on the server. All these things will be possible as long as you are able to set up and manage your FTP accounts effortlessly.
FTP Manager in Cloud Hosting
All our cloud hosting packages include a feature-loaded, yet simple-to-use FTP Manager tool, which will permit you to manage all the FTP accounts that you’ve created without any hassle. The software tool is included in our ultramodern Hepsia Control Panel and besides setting up and removing FTP accounts, you’ll be able to modify the password for any active account with only 2 clicks. You can modify the level of access for any specific account just as easily – you will only need to click on the access path associated with the account and then to pick the new directory. Furthermore, you can download an auto-configuration file for several FTP programs and set up any of the FTP accounts on your computer simply by installing that file. For simpler and more efficient control, you can sort the accounts in alphabetical order based on their access paths or their usernames.
FTP Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server accounts are administered from the user-friendly, tailor-made Hepsia hosting Control Panel. One of its sections, the FTP Manager, is dedicated to managing your FTP accounts and everything associated with them, so you’ll be able to manage all the accounts quickly and effortlessly. It’ll take one single click to create a brand-new FTP account, to remove an existing one or simply to edit its password. You can also see the full list of your FTP accounts in this section of the Control Panel and, for your convenience, you can arrange them in alphabetical order – descending or ascending, either by their access path or by username. Modifying the path for a given account is also pretty easy – you will only need to click on it and select the new directory in the pop-up window that will show up, so you won’t have to set up a brand-new FTP account if you simply wish to define what web files an existing account can access. You can also use auto-config files for commonly used FTP client applications like FileZilla and Core FTP.
