The simplest way to grant a third-party access to the web files in a certain folder is to create an FTP account and to set content access limits in regard to your web space. In case you use the services of a web designer, for example, they won’t acquire access to any other files or any sensitive data in your web hosting account. You can also create separate FTP accounts to manage different websites created with a desktop web design application such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver – each website can be published on the web and later edited using an FTP account with access to its own website folder on the hosting server. All these things will be possible as long as you are able to create and manage your FTP accounts effortlessly.
FTP Manager in Shared Web Hosting
If you open a shared web hosting account with us, you will obtain access to the stunningly powerful FTP Manager tool, that is an essential part of our custom Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. The tool offers a number of different options, aside from the ability to create or delete FTP accounts. You’ll be able to check the access path associated with each account and by clicking it, you can change it so that the account in question will access a separate folder. Auto-configuration files can be downloaded too, so you will not have to set up anything manually – you can simply download the respective file for CyberDuck, Core FTP or FileZilla and install it on your computer system. To make the management simpler, the FTP Manager will allow you to view all the accounts that you’ve created in alphabetical order, based on either the access path or the username.
FTP Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you open a semi-dedicated server account with us, you will be able to make use of a number of features that are available in the FTP Manager section of our next-gen Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can set up a brand new FTP account and choose which folder it will have access to with just a few mouse clicks via an easy-to-use graphical interface. A list of all the accounts that you’ve got will be displayed in the same section too and, for convenience’s sake, you can arrange them by access path or username in ascending or descending order, so you’ll be able to effortlessly find the account that you need. Modifying the path for an active account is as simple as clicking on it and choosing the new path, while removing an account or editing its password requires one click of the mouse as well. With the FTP Manager, you can also download config files for commonly used desktop FTP clients like CyberDuck and FileZilla.
