The simplest way to provide a third-party with access to the web files in a given folder is to set up an FTP account and to put content access limits in regard to your hosting space. In case you use the services of a web developer, for example, they will not have access to any other files or any sensitive details within your account. You can also use separate FTP accounts to run a number of websites created with a desktop web design application such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver – each site can be published on the World Wide Web and then updated using an FTP account with access to its very own domain folder on the server. All these things will be possible as long as you are able to create and manage your FTP accounts with ease.
FTP Manager in Hosting
If you open a hosting account with us, you will gain access to the really powerful FTP Manager tool, that is a part of our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The tool includes several different options, aside from the possibility to set up or remove FTP accounts. You’ll be able to see the access path for each account and by clicking it, you can change it so that the account in question will access a separate directory. Downloadable auto-config files are available as well, so you won’t have to set up anything manually – you can just download the particular file for FileZilla, Core FTP or CyberDuck and install it on your personal computer. To make the management simpler, the FTP Manager will allow you to see all the accounts that you’ve created in alphabetical order, on the basis of either the username or the access path.
FTP Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated server accounts are administered through the easy-to-work-with, custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel. One of its sections, the FTP Manager, is dedicated to managing your FTP accounts and anything associated with them, so you will be able to administer all the accounts swiftly and easily. It will take a single mouse click to create a brand new account, to remove an active one or simply to change its password. You can also view the complete list of your FTP accounts in this section of the Control Panel and, for your convenience, you can sort them in alphabetical order – ascending or descending, either by their access path or by username. Modifying the path for a certain account is also rather easy – you’ll just have to click on it and pick the new directory in the pop-up window that will show up, so you won’t have to set up a whole new FTP account in case you simply wish to specify what website files an existing one can access. You can also take advantage of auto-configuration files for commonly used FTP client applications like FileZilla and Core FTP.
