The easiest way to grant a third-party access to the files in a certain directory is to create an FTP account and to put website content access restrictions with 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 files or any sensitive data within your account. You can also set up multiple FTP accounts to maintain different sites created with a desktop web design application like FrontPage or Dreamweaver – each website can be published on the web and subsequently updated using an FTP account that has access to its own domain name folder on the hosting server. All these things will be possible provided that you’re able to create and manage your FTP accounts without any hassle.
FTP Manager in Cloud Hosting
All our cloud hosting packages come with a feature-packed, albeit simple-to-use FTP Manager, which will allow you to administer all the FTP accounts that you have set up with ease. The FTP Manager is a part of our ultramodern Hepsia hosting Control Panel and apart from creating and removing accounts, you can change the password associated with any active account with only two mouse clicks. You can change the level of access for any specific FTP account just as easily – you will only need to click on the access path for the account and then to choose the new directory. What’s more, you can download an auto-configuration file for different FTP apps and configure any of the FTP accounts on your personal computer simply by running the given file. For simpler and more efficient control, you can arrange the accounts alphabetically on the basis of their usernames or their access paths.
FTP Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server accounts are managed through the user-friendly, custom-developed 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 will be able to administer all the accounts quickly and seamlessly. It’ll take a single click to create a brand new FTP account, to delete an active one or simply to edit its password. You can also view the full list of your accounts in this section of the Control Panel and, for your convenience, you can arrange them in alphabetical order – descending or ascending, either by username or by their access path. Changing the path for an account is also incredibly easy – you simply need to click on it and select the new directory in the pop-up that will show up, so you won’t have to set up a brand new FTP account in case you simply wish to define what website files an existing one can access. You can also make use of auto-config files for widely used FTP client apps like FileZilla and Core FTP.
