The simplest way to give a third-party access to the web files in a given directory is to create an FTP account and to specify content access limits in regards to your web hosting space. If you use the services of a web designer, for instance, they won’t be granted access to any other content or any sensitive details within your web hosting account. You can also use separate FTP accounts to manage different Internet sites built with a desktop web design app such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage – each Internet site can be published on the Internet and subsequently edited using an FTP account that has access to its very own domain folder on the hosting server. All these things will be possible as long as you are able to create and administer your FTP accounts without efforts.
FTP Manager in Cloud Hosting
All our cloud hosting plans come with a multifunction, albeit simple-to-use FTP Manager tool, which will enable you to administer all the FTP accounts that you’ve got without hassle. The software tool is part of our next-gen Hepsia Control Panel and aside from setting up and removing FTP accounts, you can edit the password associated with any active account with just two clicks. You can change the level of access for any given FTP account just as easily – you will only need to click on the access path associated with the account in question and then to pick the new directory. Also, you can download an auto-configuration file for several FTP software programs and set up any of the FTP accounts on your computer by simply installing the file in question. For easier and more effective management, you can arrange the FTP accounts alphabetically based on their access paths or their usernames.
FTP Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated server accounts are administered through the simple-to-work-with, custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel. One of its sections, the FTP Manager, is dedicated to administering your FTP accounts and all of the things related to them, so you will be able to administer all the accounts quickly and effortlessly. It will take one single click to create a brand new FTP account, to delete an active one or simply to change its password. You can also view the complete list of all your FTP accounts in this section of the Control Panel and, for the sake of convenience, you can sort them in alphabetical order – ascending or descending, either by username or by their access path. Modifying the path for an account is also exceptionally easy – you only need to click on it and select the new directory in the pop-up that will appear, so you won’t have to create a whole new account in case you simply wish to define what website files an existing one can access. You can also make use of auto-configuration files for widely used FTP applications like FileZilla and Core FTP.
